The National Theatre (Czech: Národní divadlo) in Prague is known as the alma mater of Czech opera, and as the national monument of Czech history and art.To visit National Theater on your trip to Prague, use our Prague trip planner.
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.

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.

What a great place to see an opera! I saw the Barber of Seville and it was amazing. When I retire I want to move to Prague for all the arts and culture (and the amazing beer). Highly recommended!

What an amazing place! We are here to see beauty and the beast and we are very excited. People are dressed for the occasion which iou might also want to be. You can buy drinks and small snacks inside the entrance.

Great building, great performance, great staff on the doors as you enter (the theatre staff I found are less pleasant) the interior of the theatre is amazing the stage is extremely professional and the live full orchestra is out of this world. I managed to get the last two tickets on Christmas day (25/12) in the gallery for £12/€15/380ckz which is unbelievably cheap. The whole experience was fantastic. Thank you National Theatre for an all round amazing experience.
