As you can see, the architecture of the Theatre is monumental right from the entrance, which is topped by an imposing bronze sculpture from 1825 of "Apollo in the chariot of the sun" by Petr Klodt. The neoclassical pediment is decorated with a bas-relief added by Alberto Cavos during the theater's second reconstruction, depicting two angels lifting the lyre of Apollo.
