Spiral Theatre Reopens: A New Era for Prague’s Cultural Scene

After more than twenty years, the legendary Spirála Theatre, now rebranded as Nová Spirála, has reopened its doors.

This iconic circular building has been transformed into a dynamic cultural space that will host A mix of performances.

From the musical multimedia show Resurrection to the drama Madison Bridges, and from the variety show The Saturn Revue to a performance by the renowned tenor Pavel Černoch accompanied by the Janáček Philharmonic Ostrava, Nová Spirála offers something for everyone.

The venue will also host external events such as TEDx talks and a set by Japanese DJ Ryoji Ikeda. With its diverse lineup, Nová Spirála is set to become a vibrant home for drama, musicals, new circus acts, opera, sports events, and multimedia shows.

A Space Like No Other

The heart of Nová Spirála is its distinctive circular hall, featuring a 360° auditorium with a seating capacity of 800. The design, dominated by a stage with a concentric turntable, offers a unique theatrical experience—every seat provides a perfect view, and nothing is hidden from the audience.

Performers can enter and exit the stage directly through the audience, enhancing the sense of connection between artists and spectators.

“The Spiral Theatre was significantly damaged by floods in 2002. It fell into disrepair for many years, and the city planned its demolition: it even had a demolition acreage ready. However, we managed to save this iconic space literally at the last minute, and we started its complete reconstruction,” said Pavel Vyhnánek, Deputy Mayor of the City of Prague for Finance and Budget.

In addition to the main stage of the Spiral Theatre, a small stage has also been created, which has originally served as a rehearsal room.

This space will serve as a facility for performances for smaller theatre companies, beginning musicians and smaller bands, as well as dance performances, dance evenings, as well as larger conferences and congresses.
