The Academy soon developed into a rich and fertile source of brilliant young performers and creative artists. Audiences at famous concert halls, opera houses, festivals and art competitions in Slovakia and abroad acknowledged their mastery. In 1990, the Faculty of Drama was divided into the Faculty of Drama and Puppetry and the Faculty of Film and Television.
