Ethiopian National Theatre is a historic and cultural gem in the city. The building itself has a lot of character and charm, and it's clear that a lot of care has been put into preserving its history. However, the seating arrangements leave something to be desired they could be more comfortable. Additionally, the ticketing process is a bit disorganized, with long lines forming to purchase tickets even when the theater is far from full. This can be frustrating, especially since the shows don't always start on time. Overall, while the National Theatre is a great place to experience the arts and culture of Ethiopia, there are definitely some areas that could use improvement.

A historical and graceful place. My favourite place to watch a theatre. I have watched "ባቢሎን በሳሎን" for the second times. The theatre is a comedy type but also with valuable points. I thought that people are not on to theatre anymore but, the place was full which proved me wrong.

It’s an old building that was well maintained. The inside it’s absolutely beautiful.

Ethiopian National theater is one of the vintage cinemas in the city. They host local movies but they are known for their theaters. Most of them are well known that they were on the stage for more than 10 years. It is the best place for those who are theater lovers. There is a waiting row usually. And there are guys who ask you if you need to be in front. They ask you for money for pulling you to the front. But this is unnecessary as the theater is rarely full and you are very unlikely to not have a seat. If you are able to wait just few minutes on the waiting row you will definitely find a seat. Concerning parking, there is parking slot just in front, on the other side of the road. The place is relatively safe and you may park there even at night time. But make sure you took the basic safety measures like locking all doors and placing all your valuable in a place that can not be seen through the window. Otherwise take all your valuable matterials, like laptop, with you and you may place it to a secure room at the theater.

National Theatre is a majestic theatre stage that established by His Majesty Haileselasse I. Classic performances have been presented in this house and i had got a chance to watch Hindeke, Ye Kake Wurdot, Topaz, and Babilon Besalon. Recently reinnovation of the iconic house of theatre is underway and hope it will finalize soon maintaining its grace!
