The Ministry of Culture has announced that the National Theater Carlos Piantini main hall will remain open this year to honor commitments throughout the year. The closure was announced after a major rainstorm caused extensive leakage in the main hall. The Ministry of Culture had planned repairs for January 2015, but decided to rescind contracts to start the repairs early, only maintaining shows contracted by the Ministry itself.
But apparently pressures from promoters have made the Ministry to decide to continue with the original plan of closing in January 2015.
