I was at the State Opera for the first time now after its reconstruction. Still smells fresh paint. :-) Beautiful building and interior. From the 2nd balcony amazing view of the curtain, chandelier and ceiling (ceiling paintings by Edward Veith). I was surprised by the modern individual reading devi...

Beautiful place to see a ballet or an opera! It was renovated in early 2020, and everything looks stunning on the inside! We booked box seats online (view below from box 14). Pro tip #1- the ground seats would not be good for visibility- we saw people standing up in the first row. Pro tip #2- you ca...

Excellent Opera House. Saw La Boheme. Both the cast and the orchestra were absolutely incredible. Avoid booking the second row seats in any of the boxes. Since there is no step, you have virtually no view (blocked by people sitting in the first row) from the second row in Box 2, tier 2.

Do NOT buy second row seats in the box. Maybe this is a 'known' thing. I thought 'second row, how bad can it be?' You cannot see AT ALL. better off up the top up in the normal 'stepped' seating. These seats shouldn't be available for sale.

Saw Turandot and La Boheme here last week. I booked direct through the website, you can read it in English. The seats are numbered strangely as they are not consecutive but even numbers. You print out etickets and its all straightforward and cheap.

The building's interior is beautiful - red and g...

A really nice opera house. The performance we attended would unfortunately be interrupted several times due to technical problems. There are usually 5 people in the boxes, which we found a bit narrow in the front row. The translation of the texts was displayed on the stage in Czech and English. M...

Nice building on the outside and spectacular inside. We saw Fidelio, the performances and the orchestra very well but the scenery is quite minimalist. Very small bathrooms for so many people, and while the seats are spacious, reduced space between seats to pass.

Don Giovanni is too famous for its premiere. There is an episode that Mozart returned to Prague in August after the performance of Figaro's marriage and wrote the last day of the premiere.
Although it was old at the time of the visit, the renovation work performed until 2019 was modernized to insta...

I think an opera house that doesn't have to shy away from comparisons ... a unique, ornate architecture, very good acoustics and of course and important a very well-imagined performance made our evening here a Prague highlight.

Sumptuous hall with totally over-the-top baroque decor. Very beautiful, with plenty of photo ops if you reach early. We saw Tosca: the soprano was fantastic, the tenor not so much. Great production, very classical and true to the period. The Opera is easily accessible by foot or public transport (it...

The place is amazing, but presentations does not match what is sold, it's a trap for tourists, good music but not what you pay for. (we pay to hear an advertised 5th and 9th synfony and that didn't play at all, also advertised 60 musicians in the play and there were only 42). Good to go only once to...

Is The National Theater better? There are many tourists here. There are subtitles, so it is easy to understand if it is easy to understand.
The front seat is recommended. You can see the performance of the orchestra, and you can see the expression of the performer with your eyes.

Nice interior. good sound. The singers are ok. Not in a top 10 world operas, yet good. Use the public transport to get in, parking is across the street and takes a lot of time. Dress properly! You might be admitted in jeans and Tshirt, but you will look like a pub turist.

The building was really nice, but the acoustics were really bad. There was no terminal at the bar, so you had to return for cash. I would also expect the State Opera to look better on the headlines and not be misspelled. The modern concept of Fidelia was quite unpleasantly broken with classical musi...

Can you write anything other than a gem? It won't. The whole building is amazing in one word! Every detail is precisely designed, everything is where it should be and the beauty breathes on you from every perspective. Beautiful curtain, auditorium and beautiful view from any place. Czech gem, a jewe...
