PERFORMANCE DETAILS The remarkable Gala Vivaldi concert is performed in the historic Mirror Chapel at the Klementinum in the Old Town by the Dvořák Symphony Orchestra Prague.
The Mirror Chapel is the most beautiful Baroque concert hall in Prague. It houses two 18th century organs, one played by W.A. Mozart on his visits to the Klementinum.
The Dvorák Symphony Orchestra Prague is formed of eminent musicians from the National Theatre, Prague State Opera, Prague Symphony Orchestra and the Czech Philharmonic.
In addition to performing regularly in Prague, the orchestra has undertaken highly successful tours of Europe, the USA, Japan and South Korea.
Joining the orchestra on stage in the concert are three of Prague's foremost soloists. The concert includes 'The Four Seasons'. Vivaldi's music was very popular in Prague during the composer's lifetime. Between 1726-1736, six of his operas, including two premieres, were performed in the city.
