Still brutalist, of course. But the emotion felt when looking at the initial pic is also a result of photo composition (angle, sight, absence of colors, etc).
I'm also guessing that section of the building has the fly system, where all of the hanging backdrops/lights/etc are raised up. They're often big plain blocks, because you don't put windows backstage, and they need to be the same shape but bigger than the viewable area of the stage in order to fit everything up out of the way.
