Great is my Country, the first Kinopanorama film, premiered there on February 28, 1958. The original design of the theatre featured a ninety-degree concave screen, which at the time was one of the largest anywhere (101.7-feet wide by 37.7-feet high). The cinema seated 1,226 patrons. The nine-channel stereophonic sound system employed 120 speakers scattered throughout the cinema. The cinema presently screens regular first-run films.
