Price: 1 260 CZK

Ballet and folklore performances at the famous National Theatre followed by a reception on the roof of this historic building.

The National Theatre in Prague belongs to the most important Czech cultural institutions with a rich artistic tradition which was created and maintained by the most distinguished personalities in Czech society.

The building of the National Theatre was inaugurated on November 18, 1883 with a performance of Smetana’s festive opera Libuše composed for this occasion. The building, technically perfectly equipped (electric illumination, a steel constructed stage), served without any extensive modifications for almost one hundred years.

Now this historic, extremely prestigious and beautiful building represents the main stage of the three artistic ensembles of the National Theatre: the drama, opera and ballet.
