PERFORMANCE DETAILS The Christmas Classic Spectacular concert is performed in the historic Mirror Chapel at the Klementinum in the Old Town by the Royal Czech Orchestra and soloists.
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 chamber orchestra is formed of eminent musicians from the Prague Philharmonic, and is accompanied by three of Prague's foremost soloists. The Royal Czech Orchestra can trace its roots back to the 17th century and the reign of Leopold I, King of Bohemia, who was a generous patron of the celebrated ensemble.
