A New Chapter Begins: Legendary Spirála Theater Reopens After 20 Years

Prague’s legendary Spirála theater is set to make a return this autumn after a two-decade hiatus. Reborn as the multi-genre venue Nová Spirála, the iconic structure within the Prague Exhibition Center promises a unique experience. Within its circular hall, it boasts a 360° auditorium with 800 seats. Two rotating telescopic stages further enhance the dynamism of each performance, ensuring that nothing remains hidden from the audience. Additionally, a smaller stage is being completed, where visitors can attend chamber musicals, and theatrical productions, with a capacity of up to 340 guests. In August 2002, the area of Prague and above all the lower-situated areas of Výstaviště were hit by a destructive flood from the Vltava River, which significantly damaged the buildings situated in the lower part of the park.

Alongside the 800-seat main hall, a smaller, club-style venue with a capacity of 340 standing spectators is also being created. The building’s acoustics have been meticulously restored, respecting its historical character. “It brings me immense joy and a touch of nostalgia to announce the first...
