Brava Brava! Bravo Bravo!…read more Wow! Beautiful from start to finish. Be sure to dress formal! This majestic Opera is a wonderful place to spend a Friday night. In Chicago, you'd easily pay three or four times as much for the same seats and experience here. The Entrance is across the street from the cafe and the bridge, so don't let your driver take you around the building. Just get out right where the tram stops and go in on the north side. Go early so you can attend the cash bar before the open and gawk at all the well dressed attendees and wander through the outer circle to see photos from previous shows and to find the water closets for intermission. The interior is gorgeous, and the seating for both the boxes and the floor are easy to figure out, which I greatly appreciated. The show itself was a modern take on a classic, and though some of the stage props weren't what I would choose, the sheer number of amazing singers was more than enough to satiate my desire for a very wide range of octave talent. I'd happily go back without question. Encore Encore!

And I love every single one of them. Each one is unique and charm in it own way that just simply irresistible. The box seats are wonderful and velvety that make you feel in love with the culture and the art. It's not big but it is very imitated to the actors and to the story of being told on the stage. There is a big room overlook the river is for refreshments, such decor and the lighting make you feel like back to the good old days. Love it here.

At the very least you will be entertained and will appreciate the crafty puppeteering work, and yet on a deeper level you can enjoy how they capture the many layers of personalities and philosophical levels that exist among the "cast", even with their wooden expressions. I'd recommend this show to everyone, it's a must-see for anyone visiting Prague. This review was written by my wife and I totally approve!

Unfortunately I didn't know this was a theatre/arts centre until I did much research to try and…read morefind the name of this place - we only came here for a beer, but were struck by the stunning architecture and felt that there was much more to it than initially meets the eye. The bar/restaurant area itself (as this, along with the toilets, was the only bit we saw) is modern and has clever lighting to create a really calm ambience. The guy behind the bar handled some obnoxious american tourists very well, and was noticably more chipper with us when we attempted (and failed) to speak Czech with him. The reason I loved it, apart from all the above? Kozel beer, by the bottle, dead cheap. And just what you want after a morning in the fresh air taking in the beautiful scenery around Vysehrad.
