One of the gems of Prague. A beautiful theatre that makes you feel you went back in time. Visibility is excellent from the floor, while some of the upper tiers can have issues. However, the acoustic is good. The theatre houses a very good program of both Czech and international artists.

(Translated by Google) This cathedral is the decoration of the Old Square. It is especially beautiful at Christmas, when a large fir tree is placed on the square and everything is beautifully illuminated. (Original) Этот собор является украшением Старой площади. Особенно он красив на Рождество, когда на площади ставят большую ель и все красиво подсвечивается.

Very historical, very nice architecture but also very compact. Unfortunately the performance (Le nozzle di Figaro) was following an (very) alternative take and was really boring. Which does not allow us to enjoy it till the end.

here, unfortunately, there are no subtitles right on the chair in front of you, which is why everything hard to read as the screen is too far away and you have to strain your eyes for the entire presentation if you don't speak the original language. friendly staff, didn't try the food, but there were snacks

I raced to get there over cobblestones cause I could not find a cab. I was just a couple of minutes late. I could barely catch my breath and move. I had asked deliberately for a seat that didn't require stairs because I'm older and in pain. They would not seat me and instead made me go up to the very top upper balcony and stand for an hour and a 1/2 until the intermission. 2 nights prior I went to the state opera where they were gracious and a couple of people who had arrived late were shown to their seats like human beings to sit and enjoy the show they paid for.

This is such a beautiful place, so even if you don’t like opera, you should visit it to at least see the building from inside - it’s really worth it. The interior is magnificent, it’s in a very good condition and you can feel history here (the theatre is more than two hundred years old). Besides, the National Theatre performances in general are very good and more affordable by price comparing to Western Europe.

Amazing building where Mozart once played.

Tyn Church is the most visible landmark of old town. It looks wonderful during the day and even better at night when it is lit up. Late in the evening after the crowds have gone, it looks like one of the Disney structures. The inside of the church is also very beautiful. Absolutely must see on your Prague visit.

One of my favorite cities to be in, such great spot this being one of them. Old Town Square is super nice!

The lime-green and white Estates theatre (Stavovské Divadlo) is one of the finest examples of Neoclassical elegance in Prague. It was built in 1783 by Count Nostitz Rieneck for Prague’s influential German community. It is something of a mecca for Mozart aficionados since on 29 October 1787, it hosted the world premiere of Don Giovanni (a hooded bronze statue of Il Commendatore flanks the main entrance on the left), with Mozart himself conducting from the piano. The opera was an instant hit with Prague audiences despite flopping everywhere else in Europe. Due to his love affair with Prague, Mozart also chose to premier La Clemenza di Tito at the Estates theatre in 1791. Recognizing Mozart’s strong connection with the theatre, Czech director Miloš Forman made use of its interior in his famous Oscar-winning film Amadeus. The gold and blue auditorium of the theatre looks like a chocolate box and can only be seen when attending a performance inside. The Estates theatre occupies a special place in Czech history, for it was here that the Czech national anthem, “Kde domov můj?” (Where Is My Home?), was first performed, as part of the comedy Fidlovačka, by J.K. Tyl.

It's a beautiful theatre! Just be careful of sitting in the balconies. I got the back seat that is literally a tall chair in the corner. It is hot and stuffy, so bring a hand fan. Otherwise, the screens helped with subtitles in various languages and their food options were good enough to get me through the opera.

Spectacular experience watching Leonce and Lena at The Estates Theatre. Magnificent Theatre. I fell in love with the interior. Sat in A16 and it was a very good seat. Very good view. You can also see the orchestra while they’re playing. Leg room can be improved but not bad. I paid approximately £35 for my seat.

Thoroughly enjoyed the opera here. Our box had fantastic view. Would have liked to take our drinks with us to our box, but not allowed to apparently?! Had to leave them in the bar fridge to finish during intermission.

We watched Don Giovanni at this theater. It's beautiful and... this is actually where Mozart first presented Don Giovanni. It couldn't get any better!! Drinks are available at the bar downstairs during the intermission. I liked to have the subtitles on the screens. This is the first opera I watched that had the screens with subtitles telling the story. Prices are very inexpensive for good seats in Prague.

The estates theatre is really beautiful with shades of blue. I was watching a drama and bought a seat in the upper gallery, then the staff gave me an upgrade seat in front of the stage. It was a very pleasant experience.

I saw Don Giovanni here on 29th October, exactly 234 years anniversary of Wolfgang's premièr performance of it here. Swoooooon ..♥️ This theatre is a pretty gem. And very enlightening to see how relatively small the theatre is, and its "acoustic scale" that Mozart wrote the opera for, rather than the huge opera houses, with their huge orchestras and "big sound" that we are used to doing this opera today. And the fabulous sharp orchestra with fine, impressive local singers would even have pleased Mozart, I reckon. I'm an old man, and I've loved Mozart's operas for most of my life, and this place was a TREAT I'll not forget.

Beautiful, cute small theater, home to many Mozart opera plays among so many other. It’s just beautiful and charming, and has a small bar under the theater for the breaks. I recommend attending at least an opera in this theater.

I've had a splendid evening here with Le Nozze di Figaro, world class orchestra, cast and direction Of course this is a famous venue because of its rich history, inaugurated in 1783 it is one of the oldest theaters in the world preserved in its original form. This is also the place where Don Giovanni by Mozart premiered in 1787 and it's the only remaining theatre where Mozart conducted and that's still around . Lots of history here and I'm glad I took part in a tiny bit of it Mandatory for music lovers when in Prague

Once you reach the old town area the Church and its spires are one of the first things that you generally see. Looking around it is hard to see if there is an entrance. You need to go through a passageway in between the restaurants lining the Old Town Square at the base of the church. If you follow that to the end you end up at the entrance of the church. The church itself is quite beautiful on the inside. There is a path that goes around in an anti-clockwise direction so you circle the interior of the church. Just remember to put your phones on silent for people who are praying inside.

Beautiful Church in Prague's Old Town Square. Visited Prague during Covid times which gave us to enjoy the crowd-free square and admire this marvelous church.

One of my favourite theaters. Smaller than the mains one but very beautiful and cozy inside. This theater is famous and is known for the fact that in 1787 the premiere of the Mozart's opera Don Giovanni took place there. You can still now a days find the tickets on this opera in this theater.

(Translated by Google) The place where Milos Forman filmed Amadeus. Amazing feeling to be here and listen to the opera. Like I was in that movie! (Original) Mesto na kome je Miloš Forman snimao Amadeusa. Neverovatan osecaj biti ovde i slusati operu. Kao da sam bio u tom filmu!

Mozart played Don Giovanni first time there. Can you imagin not visiting such a place?

Amazing theatre with proper classy and artistic atmosphere. But please, put on a nice representative clothes. It's a theatre, not a bar.

I was there at an excursion. It was wonderful: the guide was very good, one could see that he is very interested in what he is doing. The theater is amazing.

Absolutely stunning theater, went there to see Die Zauberflotte and both the performance and esthetics were amazing. You also book the tickets at a very cheap price compared to other European cities.

Amazing, old theatre! The atmosphere of Mozart and other ancient legends is still in the air

Such a beautiful theatre, get yourself a booth if you can. Queue at the bar can get a bit long, so try have a drink or two before you arrive. Drinks cannot be taken into the theatre.

A magical experience in the oldest european theatre. I strongly recommend not only to visit it with a tour guide but also to watch a performance. It's a far more immersive experience than just visiting it. Recommended

Great view from this seat, good price value. "Boxes, ground floor elevated. Box 6. Seat 3." Don Giovanni was excellent. Much better than Covent Garden circa 2016

A beautiful, historic theatre. Mozart himself used to conduct operas here. This theatre is also featured in the Oscar winning film "Amadeus", as most theatre scenes of k the movie were shot here. I was lucky enough to see a beautiful performance of Don Giovanni here. I hope to be back sometime again. Highly recommended!

This theater is spectacularly beautiful! I love LOVE the private boxes in the 1st and 2nd balconies. So convenient and great views! Everyone is nice and helpful. Absolutely try to see a performance here!

Great theatre! We watched don Giovanni and it was fantastic. Highly recommended for both tourists and residents.

The photos of the theater speak for themselves so there is no need to comment on its aesthetics. I will focus on the opera we watched (Magic Flute - W.A.Mozart). The previous years we've watched the same Opera in Zurich and Vienna but this was by far richer and more elaborate production compared to the previous two of course. So the quality is really really high. The nodding between the director and first cello after the queen's aria was indicative of their appreciation of the performance. There is a spatial limitation due to the width of the stage that impacts the size of the orchestra resulting in fewer instruments and the total absence of drums. To be fair though, the acoustics of the theater is breathtaking rendering any complaint mute. I do have to mention the beautiful people working in all the areas of the theater elevating the experience over all. Almost all speak excellent English and they assist you with a huge smile.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful theater. Unfortunately empty. We make a lot of repairs. So it can be played when it works out. (Original) Krásné divadlo. Bohužel prázdné. Děláme hodně oprav. Aby se mohlo hrát až to půjde.

One of the best churches in Prague. A must-see located right in the centre. Spectacular main altar and side altars. Beautiful chapels, with a historic church organ. Especially beautiful at Christmastime with a lovely Nativity Scene, and numerous Christmas trees. A world-class choir sings at the 9.30am Sunday mass.

One of many churches, worth a visit if you are religious, but there are better in Prague.

The most amazing sight. Listen to the trumpets every hour. Amazing place on earth

Historical fantastic place to be and to visit , never ever missed the main attractions in the area as they are all next to each other .

Another attraction of Prague beside Prague Astronomical Clock. The church has 2 towers with the big one a the small one

I haven’t been inside but the outside is absolutely gorgeous.

The church that looks like a castle with its turrets and spires! It's almost haunting! It's the main church in the Old Town Square of Prague. Entry is free although it is customary to drop an offering. You're not allowed to take photos inside. Also, the church is closed on Sundays and Mondays. One interesting fact is the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe is buried here.

Wonderful church, a great historical monument!

(Translated by Google) One of the many stages of the National Theater in Prague. The Estates Theater is a beautiful Classicist building, best known for the premiere of Mozart's opera Don Giovanni.

(Translated by Google) The Estates Theater is considered one of the most beautiful historical theater buildings in Europe. The building was commissioned by Count Franz Anton Nostitz-Rinek, who was driven by the desire to contribute to the development of his hometown, German theater and Italian opera. Construction lasted two years, and in 1783 the theater opened with the premiere of Lessing's tragedy Emilia Galotti. This very important project for Prague at that time corresponded to the spirit of the end of the 18th century, when national theaters were built in European courts, cities and cultural centers in the light of the Enlightenment's ideas that a public theater is a moral authority that documents the cultural level of a nation. Built in the style of classicism, the Prague Estates Theater, along with the theater in Leoben in Styria, is the only theater of its kind in Europe, which has survived to this day in an almost original form. In 1798, the Prague estates bought the theater, and since then it has been named after the Royal Estates Theater. Many generations of the founders of the Czech theater genre have worked on the stage of the Estates Theater. From the pioneers - brothers Karel and Vaclav Tam and Ya.N. Stepanek and to Klitzper, J.K. Rear and J. Kollar and others. Estates theater is inextricably linked with the name of Mozart. Along with the performances of his other works, the world premieres of two of his operas took place here: the famous Don Giovanni (29.10.1787 - conducted by Mozart himself) and Mercy of Titus (in 1791 on the occasion of the coronation of Leopold II). Throughout its history, the theater has also attracted a number of important creators of the European level: Karl Maria von Weber worked here as Kapellmeister, Angelica Catalani sang here, performed with concerts by Niccolo Paganini, Anton Rubinstein, Karl Goldmark and Gustav Mahler conducted here, of the famous actors A .IN. Iffland, F. Raimund, Wenzel Scholze, African-American tragedian Ira Aldridge, French tragedian Eliza Rachel and many others. (Original) Сословный театр считается одним из самых красивых исторических театральных зданий Европы. Здание построено по заказу графа Франца Антона Ностица-Ринека, которым руководило желание содействовать развитию родного города, немецкого театра и итальянской оперы. Строительство длилось два года, и в 1783 году театр открылся премьерой трагедии Лессинга «Эмилия Галотти». Этот  для Праги того времени очень важный проект соответствовал духу конца 18 века,  когда при европейских дворах, в городах и культурных центрах строились национальные театры в свете представлений Просвещения, что общедоступный театр является моральной инстанцией, которая документирует культурный уровень нации. Построенный в стиле классицизма Пражский Сословный театр, наряду с театром в Леобене в Штирии, является единственным в своем роде театром в Европе, сохранившимся до наших дней в почти первозданном виде. В 1798 году пражские сословия купили театр, и с тех пор он носил имя Королевского Сословного театра. На сцене Сословного театра трудились многие поколения основоположников чешского театрального жанра. От первопроходцев- братьев Карела и Вацлава Там и Я.Н. Степанека и до Клицпера, Й.К. Тыла и Я. Коллара и других. Сословный театр неразрывно связан с именем Моцарта. Наряду с постановками  его других произведений, здесь состоялись мировые премьеры двух его опер:  знаменитого  «Дон Жуана» (29.10.1787 – который  дирижировал сам Моцарт) и «Милосердия Тита» (в 1791 году по случаю коронация Леопольда Второго).  За свою историю театр привлекал также ряд важных творцов европейского уровня:  в качестве капельмейстера здесь работал Карл Мария фон Вебер,  здесь пела Анджелика Каталани, выступал с концертами Никколо Паганини, здесь дирижировали Антон Рубинштейн, Карл Голдмарк и Густав Малер, из известных актеров здесь выступали А.В. Иффланд, Ф. Раймунд, Венцель Шольце, афроамериканский актер-трагик Айра Олдридж, французская актриса-трагик Элиза Рашель и многие другие.

the theater was stolen from Germans in year 1920

Beautiful historic theatre. Great performances. See whatever is on.

Lovely historical theater right in the center of Prague. My second most favorite after National Theathe.

Good opera performance in a beautiful theater. However the seats are not the most comfortable and there's no climate control so it was pretty warm and stuffy, especially at the top level. But it's definitely a gorgeous place to see a performance. Opera has both Czech and English supertitles.

Historical theater with nice interior. Be careful when buying cheap tickets, they're probably behind a column. Usually the lesser know plays are not popular so you can move to a better spot 😉

Attended this theater for the historical aspect but saw a Czech drama despite being English speakers and the warning of the box office. We didn't love the show but all agreed we would pay that price just to look at the theater. Seats are comfortable and all seats provide a good view. Beautiful historical theater and a great chance to Branch out of the typical Broadway type shows. Easy to get to location

The effect was accentuated because it is surrounded by low houses. It has all the appearance of an enigmatic place and, therefore, so attractive.

It looked like something out of a detective novel or a thriller. All the info on my blog at elisanievas (.)

(Translated by Google) Gothic three-nave basilica, the main parish church of the Old Town with a tower height of 80 meters and where the vault of the main nave rises to a respectable 30 meters. The temple was built 160 years ago. Many prominent figures in history are buried here, today we would say VIP. One of them was Tycho Brahe, originally named Tyge Ottesen Brahe, a prominent Danish astronomer, astrologer and alchemist. Sometimes we see his name with the nickname de. He was a nobleman, but in his homeland the name was not presented in this form. Today, the temple is connected by a telephone operator's transmitter (it is located in the south tower).

Je zde pohřbeno mnoho význačných postav historie, dnes bychom řekli VIP. Jedním z nich byl Tycho Brahe, původním jménem Tyge Ottesen Brahe, význačný dánský astronom, astrolog a alchymista.

(Translated by Google) . The Church of the Mother of God in front of Týn is one of the most important churches in Prague. The original Romanesque church belonged to the hospital of merchants in today's Ungelt. In its place was in the 13th century. built an early Gothic church. In Hussite times, the church used to be the main bastion of the Hussites. Church of the Mother of God in front of Týn - the original Romanesque church, first mentioned in 1135, belonged to a hospital of merchants and got its name from a fenced place, Týnský dvor, which was also called. The temple in its current form began to be built in the middle of the 14th century. It was not until 1457 that a truss was made over the main nave, and in the following years, during the reign of King George of Poděbrady, the construction of the western gable took place. In it was erected a king's statue with the inscription Veritas vincit - Truth wins and above it a large golden chalice, into which four gauges of grain fit. The chalice allegedly dates back to early Christian times, but was said to be even older. Although Catholic priests paid several times well to thieves to steal the chalice, no one succeeded. The rare chalice fell into the eyes of the storks, who set up a nest in it and deposited a large number of earthworms, snakes and frogs. The vermin then fell down into the square and the snakes crawled into the streets. The Hussites would like to remove the chalice, but they could not do so for the sake of faith and also for the ridicule of Catholics. The solution was found when the storks flew to warm regions, the Hussites covered the chalice with a large plate (Original) . Kostel Matky boží před Týnem patří mezi nejvýznamnější pražské kostely. Původní románský kostel patřil ke špitálu kupců v dnešním Ungeltu. Na jeho místě byl ve 13. stol. postaven raně gotický kostel. Za husitských časů býval kostel hlavní baštou husitů. Kostel Matky boží před Týnem - původní románský kostel, zmiňovaný poprvé r. 1135 patřil ke špitálu kupců a své jméno dostal podle ohrazeného místa, Týnského dvora, kterému se také říkala. Chrám v dnešní podobě se začal stavět v pol. 14. stol. Teprve roku 1457 byl zhotoven krov nad hlavní lodí a v následujících letech, za vlády krále Jiřího z Poděbrad, se uskutečnila výstavba západního štítu. V něm byla postavena králova socha s nápisem Veritas vincit – Pravda vítězí a nad ní velký zlatý kalich, do kterého se vešly čtyři měřice obilí. Kalich údajně pocházel z prvních křesťanských časů, ale vyprávělo se, že je ještě starší. Přestože katoličtí kněží několikrát dobře zaplatili zlodějům, aby kalich ukradli, nikomu se to nepodařilo. Vzácný kalich padl do oka čápům, kteří si v něm zřídili hnízdo a nanosili do něj velké množství žížal, hadů a žab. Tato havěť pak padala dolů na náměstí a hadi se rozlézali do ulic. Husité by byli rádi kalich sundali, ale pro víru a také pro posměšky katolíků to nemohli udělat. Řešení se přece jen našlo, když čápi odletěli do teplých krajů, zakryli husité kalich velkou deskou
