See the stunning State Opera and watch two opera stories about forbidden love

In German, surtitles in Czech, English, German
Concert performance

Eine florentinische Tragödie tells the story of Simone, a Florentine merchant who surprises his wife Bianca with her secret lover, the nobleman Guido. Simon’s feigned hospitality leads to violence, murder and a shocking dramatic twist. Sancta Susanna is the story of a young nun, Susanna, who falls into a sexual frenzy. The creators of both operas, Alexander Zemlinsky and Paul Hindemith, have a place of honour in the musical history of interwar Czechoslovakia. Both enjoyed great respect and fame in their time, both were driven out of Europe to the USA by National Socialism. Both are still waiting for full recognition of their operatic legacy...

Prague State Opera is one of the most important music scenes in Europe & one of the stages of The National Theatre

Visit the recently re-opened and newly refurbished grand opera house with a noteworthy history where many world renown artists have worked here making each performance a prime cultural event.

History:

This Neo-classical edifice was built in 1883 by the German Theatre Association as a reaction of German minority in Prague to the opening of the Prague National Theatre. As the New German Theatre it soon gained international acclaim for its inovative repertoire and artistic leadership including such names as Angelo Neumann, Alexander Zemlinski or Georg Szell.

Nowadays, famous operas, as well as pieces unjustly overlooked or unknown in the Czech Republic are introduced in the State Opera gaining the theatre a reputation of one of the best European scenes where you can enjoy watching mainly opera and ballet performances.
