The National Theatre in Prague is a stunning neo-renaissance building, constructed between 1868-81. It sits proudly alongside the banks of the Vltava River, its golden roof gleaming in the sunshine on fine weather days.
For Czech people, the National Theatre is one of the most important cultural institutions in Prague. Since its inception the theatre has played an important role in the development of the Czech language, Czech music and the dramatic arts.
This rich artistic tradition continues with a fine repertoire of opera and ballet, plus Czech drama and advent concerts.
The interior of the National Theatre was renovated in 1883, following a major fire. The inner and outer design was completed by famous artists of the National Theatre generation: M. Ales, F. Zenisek, V. Hynais and J. V. Myslbek
