The National Theatre belongs to the most important Czech cultural institutions, with a rich artistic tradition, which helped to preserve and develop the most important features of the nation–the Czech language and a sense for a Czech musical and dramatic way of thinking.
Today the National Theatre consists of three artistic ensembles: opera, ballet and drama. They alternate in their performances in the historic building of the National Theatre, in the Theatre of the Estates and in the Kolowrat Theatre. All three artistic ensembles select their repertoire both from classical heritage, and modern authors.

Watched the Barber of Seville Opera. It was amazing, I had ground floor seats, row 7 and I loved it. Beautiful venue outside by the river and inside with its beautiful ceiling

Fabulous performance! The hall is gorgeous, the orchestra is great, the singing was beautiful, the dancing was exquisite. Still don't understand the story though ( bartered bride, smetena).

It is just very, very beautiful and grandiose. Attended Bizet's Carmen, which was really spectacular. English and Czech translations are shown above the stage. Nice view from the outside balcony. Overall great experience.
