The State Opera finally opened its doors after a three-year renovation period. This majestic building offers top-class performances of opera and ballet. Let`s explore more about the repertoire and the surprising history of the building. Experience the State Opera Visiting the State Opera is like a cultural trip back in time to the Austrian-Hungarian empire when the theatre was born. The theatre is among the most beautiful ones in Europe thanks to its neo-Renaissance façade and neo-Rococo interior décor. The whole design is featured in white and gold colors with red velvet fabrics. It is like a place for princes and princesses, so make sure you dress up for a visit. Thanks to the renovation, the Opera gained a new rotating stage, but also new seats with touchscreen displays offering surtitles in several languages.

The new curtain was created by stage design students in Prague according to the original curtain from 1888, which mysteriously disappeared in 1945. The repertoire consists mainly of opera (of course) and ballet. You can expect classics such as Aida, Nabucco, or La traviata from Giuseppe Verdi, or Madama Butterfly, and La Bohéme from Giacomo Puccini. Soon,...
