Prague State Opera

The neo-Renaissance Prague State Opera, constructed in 1888 by Viennese architects Ferdinand Fellner and Herman Hellmer, was originally built as a popular theatre for the large German-speaking population of Prague and, up to and including the Nazi occupation, its repertoire continued to cater to this audience. After the Second World War, the Czechs claimed it for themselves, and named it Smetana Theatre after the great composer and leading light of the Czech National Revival, Bedrich Smetana. With its spacious auditorium and neo-Rococo decoration, it is truly one of the grand opera houses of Europe. Its repertoire includes classical opera, works by leading and lesser-known European composers, and popular musicals.
