Klementinum Mirror Chapel frequently host chamber classical music concerts

The Klementinum Mirror Chapel was built in 1725 most likely by František Maxmilian Kaňka. The impressive installations of Baroque mirrors on the ceiling make the chapel unparalelled worldwide. Together with gilded stuccos of Bernardo Spinetti, marble panelling and ceiling frescoes by Jan Hiebl, these mirrors create great artistic value of the interior.

Listen to the chamber classical music or even jazz music in an opulently decorated ceremonial space. The Mirror Chapel, originally dedicated to the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary, is a unique sanctuary and one of the churches of the former Jesuit college, Prague Klementinum.

The chapel had been repeatedly desecrated and consecrated until it became a Prague classical concert and exhibition hall in 1936. The Mirror Chapel houses two precious Baroque organs and classical concerts held here are a unique and unforgettable experience.

De très beaux classiques, une voix saisissante. Payer le prix pour être devant vaut le coup!

NOBUO K. | October 17, 2023 | 20:38 (Tue)

The soprano, was splendid.

Saranjit A. | October 15, 2023 | 19:46 (Sun)

The concert was exceptional. We bought and had front row seats, and were able to see the 4 performers, the soprano and very briefly the lady who played and was hiding behind the big organ. Everyone was very talented and played several pieces beautifully. The soprano was exquisite in every way. Each of them were superb artists, the violin control was exceptional.

Maryse D. | October 13, 2023 | 17:57 (Fri)

Agréable moment dans un magnifique lieu.

Adrian B. | October 08, 2023 | 16:07 (Sun)

Good value for money for a one hour performance. The setting was beautiful and the performers were excellent. We were sat near the back which was fine as it was about listening to the performance.

Dale O. | October 01, 2023 | 17:27 (Sun)

Outstanding concert in stunning surroundings , thoroughly enjoyed it, well worth the money.

Beautiful setting with a lovely selection of music wonderfully performed. I can't rate this experience highly enough.

Patrick V. | September 13, 2023 | 21:58 (Wed)

Some musicians were outstanding, others a bit less.

Olga Sif G. | September 10, 2023 | 08:35 (Sun)

Julien C. | September 09, 2023 | 20:17 (Sat)

Spectacle très, trop "mécanique" " operatoire" avec une playlist, un business bien rodé. La moindre des choses ,quand on interprète d' aussi grands musiciens, est de se présenter car ce n est qu une interprétation..sinon c est du vol. cela se veut être intime mais on n a même pas entendu le son de leur voix. Personnellement, cela ne m a pas laissé une trace.. Un spectacle au théâtre de prague avec un orchestre est 1000x mieux.

Xochitl B. | July 08, 2023 | 17:49 (Sat)

Los músicos excepcionales y la soprano también Sin duda muy recomendado

Michael B. | July 07, 2023 | 17:18 (Fri)

Breathtaking. This performance was a highlight of our trip to Prague. The chamber orchestra, organist, and vocalist were outstanding, and the Mirror Hall setting is unrivaled. It was truly a magical experience, and I recommend anyone considering attending to do so.

Jessica S. | May 15, 2023 | 23:23 (Mon)

The skill of the performers was outstanding. This was a highlight of my trip to Prague. I was only expecting a little string quartet, but to have the organist performing and also the opera singer elevated the event past my expectations.

Thilo W. | May 15, 2023 | 18:00 (Mon)

Well known titles, good musicians, organ not the best.

Krasny koncert, vynikajici Anna Quadratova !

Iulia S. | May 15, 2023 | 15:14 (Mon)

I think it could be longer, one hour of classical music is too little, there are in fact some short fragments from classic masterpieces.

Wilhelmina E. | May 04, 2023 | 11:30 (Thu)

Beautiful and well performed music of the biggest composers. Got goose bumps and tears in my eyes. Minus for guests who doesn't know how to behave during a consert.

Beth S. | April 27, 2023 | 19:32 (Thu)

We really enjoyed it, especially the soprano!

BERNARD A. | April 20, 2023 | 17:23 (Thu)

cadre magnifique et concert très agréable hormis l'introduction de Carmen la soprano était exceptionnelle

Winnie C. | April 19, 2023 | 17:57 (Wed)

James O. | April 19, 2023 | 15:02 (Wed)

It was a perfect concert for our family of four. We have children ages 8 and 11 and I wanted them to have an experience with classical that was accessible. We achieved that goal and my wife and I had a great time. The staff was pleasant, even when my eight-year old needed to go to the WC (I know, right???). I honestly considered going two nights later for another concert.

Juliane W. | April 15, 2023 | 11:49 (Sat)

Nahikari R. | April 08, 2023 | 10:49 (Sat)

I think it was expensive for what it was. Bad chairs and I couldn't see all the musicians.

Ivelin A. | April 03, 2023 | 10:30 (Mon)

I have enjoyed the one hour performance. Very good acoustics and visibility.

The musicians and performers were very good. We could enjoy this beautiful selection of classics from the front row and were really delighted.

Sylva Č. | February 03, 2020 | 09:28 (Mon)

Thomas L. | January 21, 2020 | 01:27 (Tue)

Fun and lively performance. The quality of the musicians was very hit or miss - the opera soloist was fantastic, but the organist and cellist were second class. The cellist even broke a string in the middle of the performance, which was awkward. Somehow, he managed to persist. This is also misleadingly advertised as a "chamber orchestra" - when in fact it's just a string quartet plus organist. The mirror chapel is a beautiful venue with good acoustics.

Konstantinos P. | January 19, 2020 | 01:23 (Sun)

We loved the Organ. It was amazing experience and the whole orchestra was really good. It is recommended without second thought

Rémy A. | November 23, 2019 | 19:06 (Sat)

Magnifique concert dans un lieu splendide.Nous aurions souhaité que les artistes (leurs noms)nous soient présentés....et pouvoir se procurer sur place quelques uns de leurs enregistrements. La soprano - concert du mercredi 20 à 17h - était-elle Anna Dolejsi? Une soirée que nous n'oublierons pas.

martine G. | September 17, 2019 | 06:50 (Tue)

Très bonne prestation, la chanteuse soliste a effectué une cascade de notes avec une grande aisance. C était une très bonne interprétation. Très bonne prestation de l ensemble des musiciens également. Parfait pour nous.

Siavash D. | August 23, 2019 | 13:28 (Fri)

Excellente prestation mais dommage que personne n'annonce le programme ou présenter les artistes !

David T. | July 29, 2019 | 08:44 (Mon)

Un bon moment de musique avec des musiciens de qualité. Très belle expérience.

Isobel H. | April 30, 2019 | 06:49 (Tue)

It was a delight to sit in such a beautiful chapel and enjoy the wonderful music played by such expert performers.

Priska R. | April 29, 2019 | 14:20 (Mon)

How it was "made up" with advertisement and in the very touristic environment, we expected it to be a "touristic" event, with some mainstream classic excerpts. The quality of the performance by the 4 members of the chamber orchestra, the soloist at the organ and especially the soprano singer was excellent and a most pleasant experience. Hearing these pieces in an almost intimate setting (we sat in the first row), having the "voice" right in front of us, was even touching. The fact that people gave applause to the soloist singer even though the musicians were still playing was not so nice but more important was, that everyone enjoyed the music. Thus, the concert was a very nice touch to our Prague visit and to open a nice evening.
