WORK on a BD16.2-million ($43 million) state-of-the-art national amphitheatre in the Bahrain’s capital Manama will be completed by next year.

Cyprus-based Cybroc Company has won the tender from the Ministry of Works to build the project, which will feature a main auditorium capable of accommodating 1,000 people as well as various multi-purpose halls.
Designed to world-class standards, the theatre will be located north of the Bahrain National Museum lake, covering an area of 11,869 sq m. It is scheduled for completion by July 2012.
