It was bought by the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima in 1929 and renamed to its current name through a Mayor's Resolution of June 15 of that year.
On August 2, 1998, during a show rehearsal, the theater was consumed by a raging fire that lasted two hours and destroyed part of its structure without causing definitive structural damage
On April 23, 2008, 10 years after that fateful fire, the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima announced that in 12 weeks the theatre's restoration would begin; Counting on the best architects and restorers in the field, it was expected that at the end of 2009 and beginning of 2010, the new theatre would be inaugurated. On April 29, 2010, after more than 12 years, a date was set for the completion of the work, the end of 2010. It was planned that on October 7, 2010, the theatre would open its doors again. It was ultimately reinaugurated on October 11, 2010
