The Klementinum Mirror Chapel frequently host chamber classical music concerts

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 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.

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.

It was amazing to see and hear the organ played by Mozart. The Mirror Chapel is stunning, in pristine condition and is the perfect venue to immerse yourself in the sounds of these beautiful classic tunes played by outstanding musicians.

A glorious venue. Can't imagine a better place to listen to classical music than the Mirror Chapel. Absolutely outstanding. And, we enjoyed not having to wear chiffon and pearls, tie and tails... we saw folks in bluejeans, and that was great! Our only wish is that they would have made available CDs by the group, or the Czech Philharmonic. We would have purchased one!

The setting is lively. However, I believe we were hearing a guide or other person’s voice through wall or window at back of the chapel. Very distracting

The church was beautiful and the acoustics were perfect for the performance. The only downside for us personally was that the temperature in the hall was a little too hot. Overall though, the experience was excellent!

The Klementinum Chapel is absolutely beautiful. Prague is a lifetime dream come true. I have enjoyed my 4-day stay very much and will certainly come back. The welcoming of the Czech people is awesome and Prague is an amazing city for all the art concentrated in such a 'small' area. This is incredible. Thank you for offering various events. They are of good quality with the right pricing.

You ask ticket holders to be there 20 minutes prior but don’t open doors until 15 minutes before. Promptness to enter venue would be appreciated.

A beautiful building, with comfortable seating. It was a little difficult finding the entrance to the building, once on the grounds. More or better signage would help.

In Australia it is not possible to attend a concert in such a historic venue. So it was a real treat for us to enjoy this event in the beautiful and historic Mirror Chapel.

The Klementinum was a wonderful venue. Don’t hesitate to book this ticket either before you arrive or see if they have tickets on the day you are visiting. I would definitely take advantage of a couple of performances while you are visiting Prague. You will not be disappointed!

A lovely room with great atmosphere for the concert - but try to get a seat near the front otherwise you won't see much of the performers as they are not on a raised stage.
