Municipal House - Smetana Hall

The Smetana Hall is stunning.

Dobře zvolené místo!

Art Nouveau perfection. I may be biased, I feel like Art Nouveau was the last period of art, after which we've had very little but "design" and "visual expression". Art Nouveau is the apogee of spirit and skilled form combined, and Smetana Hall embodies that to perfection.

Beautiful place, orchestra, worthy price!

La salle est absolument splendide et l'acoustique excellente.

une salle historique !

The reason for my review is the lack of guidance during queuing. Everyone tried to enter the building all at once which created a chaotic scene to say the least. There should be a clear path for queuing and there should be staff guiding everyone. Also after the start of the concert, at every interlude, many people were let in to the hall which created disruption. Never experienced people to be allowed in 30 minutes after the start of the performance. Not in London at least.

Místo dobré, ale obecenstvo by mělo být umravňováno. Jsou vpouštěni lidé n ve volnočasových šatech, svetrech apod. Nikoho celkem nezajímá, zda v záp. Evropě se top tak nebere.

Seul bémol les personnes qui s installent après le début du concert obligeant même le chef d orchestre à attendre c est un manque de respect pour les musiciens et les autres spectateurs L entrée de la salle doit être interdite des le début du concert tant pis pour les retardataires

Gorgeous venue, comfortable seats and well organised!

love it

Beautiful concert hall

The location is something else, very beautiful and impressive.

The Coat Check needs more attendants because the queue was terribly long and slow, and it delayed people from arriving into the hall before the concert began.

A very beautiful concert hall

Excellent and historical venue

The concert hall was beautiful and elegant.

Excellent and historical venue

Large hall, view sights bad in back and singer a little hard to hear so recommend sitting closer to front or in upper side seats

Le lieu est magnifique.

Skvělý výhled jak na jeviště tak na Smetanova síň!

Very good

Salle magnifique qui vaut la visite

Chairs uncomfortable

Très belle salle mais froide si elle n’est pas remplie

Stunning

I've been wanting to attend a concert in Smetana Hall and was very grateful for the opportunity. We attended earlier concerts at St. Salvator and Lichtenstein Palace. They were better suited for the audience size.

belle salle de concert confortable

Dobře jsem viděla i slyšela.

Obecní dům je krásne místo, nicméně nelze spoléhat jen na to.

The Smetana Hall is a beautiful venue with wonderful acoustics heard where I was seated in Parterre C, row 28. The Municipal building itself was a feast for the eyes and there were many places to take photos to remember the event with. It would be nice if the seat rows were more staggered by height and side to side as although I was in a seat that would give a good sight of the entire orchestra, a tall person was seated directly in front of me blocking the entire midsection of my view.

You need to go inside to appreciate this place, incredible !

We love mucha

Skvělé

Zeer mooi gebouw met prachtige concertzaal.

Fantastically beautiful venue with free cloak room with efficient handling both at arrival and departure

Magique!

Superbe lieu. Nous étions très bien placés. Cependant quand j'ai pris les billets, je n'avais pas le plan de la salle pour selectionner

Beautiful building, but the concerthall itself doesn’t have a good accoustic.

La salle Smetana est magnifique. Toutefois, on peut peut-être regretter l'époque où les concerts du Nouvel An du Prague Philharmonic Orchester se donnaient dans la salle Dvorak du Rudolphinum, dont l’acoustique est, semble-t-il, encore de meilleure qualité.

Magnifique salle Art nouveau.

Très varié et joyeux parfait Por finir l’année ! Bravo à tous

Great unique music hall and venue!

Lovely setting. Would happily return for future concerts.

excellent acoustics and organisation

Salle vraiment incroyable.

Le personnel est disponible et le lieu d accès facile.

Very well organsiaed, the free coat check is a great idea and makes for a more comfortable experience for all. Concert hall was beautiful, clean and comfortable.

Fabulous venue.

Beautiful setting, great seats

Magnifique !

Beautiful venue

Beautiful venue with amazing acoustics.

Beautiful and warm.

The Smetana Hall is a beautiful venue, full of art deco paintings and decoration. The acoustics were excellent. It was a pity that there was nowhere to get any refereshments either before the concert or in the interval.

Lovely architecture,feast to the eye. Beautiful colour scheme. Very friendly staff

Lovely hall, excellent acoustics.

Miluji tyto prostory , také mám vzpomínku když jsem do Smetanovy síně chodívala do prvních tanečních....

We liked the Smetana Hall and were able to see the stage from our seats on the second row, As we were getting on a bit, the staff offered to take us up to the Hall in a very old-fashioned lift which was nice of them.

Smetana Hall is beautiful. Unfortunately, the instruments at the back of the stage carried more than the other instruments, resulting in balance mismatches which made the low instruments (brass and percussion) too loud in comparison to the strings and woodwinds.

Beautiful place

I am so amazing at the wonderful hall that I have never seen. The hall is very very beautiful! I enjoyed the Historical architecture and classical music .Thank you very much.

Absolutely stunning concert hall & beautiful music paired with it, made the perfect night!

Bravissimo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TY

On a beaucoup aimé.

Un lugar muy hermoso Vale la pena

Both the atmosphere and acoustics were excellent.

Občas si sousedé rozbalovali bonbony a šustili jimi, to rušilo.

We went to two concerts in Prague and another in Vienna, but this was our favorite. The venue was beautiful with leg room for my husband and toilet facilities on the same floor. The guest violinist and cellist were grand, but it was extra special to hear Dvorak -- a Czech composer's music in a Czech music hall was a trip highlight.

1. On line booking didn’t have a chance to choose seats number(only raws) which have caused us confusion and trouble. We have to move seats because people had tickets with exact seats numbers where we were sitting. 2. It’s mentioned dress code is smart causal, but some people were wearing short pants and slippers. It’s really not acceptable.

Vstupenky jsme dostali jako dárek.

Salle magnifique

The disadvantage was that our seats were making "sticky" noises every time we moved and it caused looks from around us, that made my sister and I uncomfortable. Also, since it is a very big venue and a lot of seats were free, maybe staff could have move everyone closer according to price range paid? We were at the last row, and didn't move out of respect to be what we paid for

Lieu mythique, rien à reprocher.

C'est une salle qui met très bien en valeur la musique

Nice and organized venue indeed

Smetana Hall was a gorgeous venue for the performance and the acoustics were wonderful.

.

A beautiful venue, a must see of Prague.

Un écrin de beauté, merci Alfons Mucha !

Protože jsem jela s přítelkyní, která je méně pohyblivá ,požádala jsem o dobře přístupná místa. Bylo mě vyhověno a měly jsme 10 řadu. první 2 krajní místa. Taat ochota zaslouží dík.

very nice atmosphere. suggestion to accept credit cards for refreshments

What a wonderful concert Hall! we really enjoyed the Smetana Hall. One of the most beautiful Art Nouveau Concert halls, I think.

Un lieu magique qu'il faut à tout prix visiter, si possible à l'occasion d'un concert. Prague est vraiment une ville enchantée, pleine de charmes et de mystères: cette "salle" qui répond au doux nom de Smetana - le chantre de la ville de Prague et de la République Tchèque - est en miniature l'écrin de l'âme slave , tchèque en particulier. Zdena et Henri

Bohužel jsem objednávala lístky dost pozdě.

Great Art Nouveau premises. Helpful and friendly personnel.

Très belle salle. Très bonne accoustique

great place to visit

Beautiful hall, but seats very hard

Perfect acoustics! Magnificent concert hall! Art deco inside and out. Magnificent space

Great acoustics

Beautiful, historic municipal hall - another star of the performance. Balcony seat provided great view. Only minor feedback is that only cash was accepted for refreshments - many travellers use cards for security and it would be nice to have this. But very minor thing overall. Thank you!

Excellent venue but a bit of disorganisation with the seats

Great opportunity to discover the place prior to the event.

The venue is lovely, however a noisy, repeated knocking (from an air vent?) was sufficiently distracting that a change of seats mid concert was required.

Superb

Un endroit à découvrir impérativement.

Beautiful building

Formidable, très beau, sièges confortables, bonne sonorité

je příjemné si vybrat sedadla na místě

V Obecním domě jsem byla poprvé, očekávání mě nezklamalo...prostě nádhera, skvělá akustika, celkový dojem na vysoké úrovni. Po koncertu jsme si nenechali ujít současné výstavy a určitě se příště vypravíme na celkovou prohlídku Obecního domu.

Très belle salle très art nouveau

Just being in this concert hall is worth everything. One of the most exquisite venues I've been in, perfect in every sense. Don't miss any chance to be here.

Une immersion dans le temps et la vie des praguois.

Beautiful! Bad lighting though!

Un superbe bâtiment.

The place is good, too many details to observe on the ceiling :)

Covid bylo nás tam málo. Cca 200 ???Akustika nevím seděli jsme blízko tam OK. Jak jinde nemohu posoudit. 6

Salle mythique à Prague, un style néo classique grandiose. Les chaises pourraient tout de même être remplacées par des siège de théâtre.

Que dire de plus sur cette salle mythique ? Toujours d'excellents moments passés ici.

Дирижёр и оркестр произвели прекрасное впечатление.

Lovely Art Nouveau concert venue and excellent acoustics.

Great place for a chamber music.

Beautiful venue. Excellent acoustics. Very nice people.

Very beautiful setting for an amazing and enchanting concert!
