The long-awaited New Riga Theater was commissioned at the end of 2023. Rock Distribution designed and supplied sections of stage machinery and stage fabrics.

The company is proud to have participated in a full cycle of the project starting from the detailed design using BIM to the production and installation of the systems. During the delivery process Rock Distribution collaborated with several system manufacturers to maximize safety standards and created an easy-to-use system for the theater's technical staff.

The New Riga Theater is a professional repertory theater that offers its audience a smart, attractive and unusual repertoire - a modern perspective on classics, original Latvian dramaturgy and pieces by foreign authors. There are three halls open to the audience in the building: Smilģa Hall, Great Black Box and Small Black Box. The large Black Box hall is decked with the first tensioned wired grid in Latvia, which facilitates the technical staff and opens unexperienced opportunities for directors to use the space.
