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.
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.
An outstanding venue, a superb orchestra, and a truly exceptional ballet—an enduring classic brought to life with flawless execution.

Magnifique.
The Prague State Opera house is absolutely stunning, beautiful setting. The staff were friendly & helpful.
What a great setting! Good bar facilities at fair prices. However, we were ripped-off by the “Opera-taxi” in front of the building that took us back to the hotel. We were charged 10 times (!) the amount we paid the Uber on our way to the opera building. A big shame!!!
Translation was so valuable!
Beautiful building Very friendly staff I very much liked the little screens for the text on each seat
C,'est la deuxième fois sur 8 jours que nous vivons un spectacle dans cette superbe salle. Quel régal.
Un lieu splendide nous avons pu en profiter pleinement depuis notre loge au 2eme etage
Salle magnifique, décoration de la voûte, une pure merveille.
Loved it!
excellent experience
The place is beautiful but the seats located on the sides on the second balcony, it is impossible to see the opera. It is better to buy the seat in the center even if it is very up.
A little too hot on 2nd balcony.
As beautiful and excellent as one would expect the “Prague State Opera” to be. Gorgeous building, excellent and friendly staff.
really interesting building, easy to access, helpful personel.
I don't have words to describe the opera house. Beautiful!!!
Stunning concert hall.
The Opera house is beautiful and snacks and drinks are good.
I have visited Prague Opera House many times before and it is a wonderful ambience. My only disappointment was my choice of seat.
Amazing venue. Booking seats could be simpler I.e visually- like booking seats on aircraft.
Endroit splendide
Not too large a venue and beautiful artwork.
Très charmant. Le dress code permet encore plus de se mettre dans l’ambiance d’autre fois
Magnificent place and a delicious musical experience. The Prague State Opera is a fantastic building where the traditional meets the modern. With comfortable seats and a touchscreen available for an overview and running text. Super comfortable and practical!
Amazing
La salle est magnifique
L'opéra de Prague est un lieu magnifique !! Le vestiaire est obligatoire et gratuit, les places sont confortables. Un petit bémol: les sous titres ne sont pas proposés en français c'est bien dommage ! Il faut donc au préalable bien connaitre l'histoire si comme nous vous ne parlez pas couramment anglais .
Really out of date, looks like it’s from the olden days, it’s obviously been painted and that but if you’ve seen ikea recently then it just doesn’t compete, come on Prague it’s not 1997 anymore. The plaster work was not smoothed out in most corners and the ceiling had bits and bats all over the place.
We loved the nineteenth-century ambiance of this venue! Thank you!!
Very well organised
Lovely building. I somehow managed to get front row seats!
A magnificent theatre!!
L’Opera de Prague est un lieu magnifique tout est tres bien entretenue et j’espère y retourner. Soirée inoubliable.
the venue was the prettiest view i have ever seen with my own eyes
Nakup cez stranku bol super rychly a chodia mi odporucenia na ine eventy. Velmi fajn
Beautiful building and box was superb
Excellent venue.
El Teatro muy Hermoso y en muy buenas condiciones. Lo disfrutamos muchísimo
Lieu magique
Drinks and coats easily accessable
HERMOSO TEATRO
Well-seated, excellent view to the scene
Hermoso Teatro
The Opera house is beautiful and the facilities are great.
Hermoso teatro
The venue was very beautiful, clean, and our seats were great!
The State Opera is a beautiful venue. There’s so much to enjoy and the staff do a wonderful job keeping it looking sharp. I would certainly visit again the next time I’m in Prague.
Beautiful & most iconic venue, very cordial staff.
We enjoyed so much, was the highlight of my stay in Prague
Top class theatre
What a beautiful venue with great acoustics. for both the orchestra and singers!
Nous avons apprécié non seulement la qualité du spectacle en lui-même, mais bien entendu le cadre MAGNIFIQUE du " Statni Opera " L' un ne va pas sans l'autre.
We had a shared box with a superb view. The building is mind-blowingly beautiful. The staff were helpful and the arrangements for the interval marvellous. All at extremely reasonable prices. We travelled from the UK and will do again even if just for the opera.
Prague State Opera house with all that glamour is an excellent venue that contributes so much to the overall experience of watching an opera in this historic city.
What a wonderful venue. The historical context makes it an exciting venue for such perfrmances. Well organised. Excellent staff
tres beau batiment, a taille humaine, richement decoré, lustre, plafonds peints. on s'y sent bien. les bars a chaque etage proposent des boissons a prix abordables c'est parfait
A beautiful historic building with excellent facilities. Definitely a night to remember.
Une très belle salle qui permet de profiter pleinement du spectacle. On aurait aimé pouvoir choisir des places à partir d'un plan de salle. Je regrette d'avoir choisi seulement des numéros de places , ce qui ne correspondait pas à la réalité de la salle. Un amélioration s'impose donc pour la réservation en ligne...
Venue was fantastic. Theatre was magical. Performance was outstanding. Thank you for for sharing your culture and talents!
Good venue
Nice place
State opera is historical and excellent venue
Box with excellent view and access. Seats a little hard but we survived.
Wonderful venue - intimate atmosphere enhanced our experience
Magnificent venue
Excellent artists and scenery. Tidy, good service the translator
Why is it necessary for pay for the program after spending $50 or more on a single ticket?
We purchased seats in the second balcony first row. I am 6 feet tall The first row leg room was inadequate for my wife who is 5 feet two inches tall. For me it was painful.It severely detracted from my enjoyment of the event.
Magique!!!
One of the iconic opera houses in the world. Right up there with Vienna and the Metropolitan Opera house.
Extraordinaire la salle
Excellent performance at a beautiful theater. All of my opera experiences at Prague have been positive due to reasonable ticket prices, stunning venues, and talented casts. Highly recommend!
rien a redire
Beautiful venue. Easy to purchase online tickets. Enjoyed a box with our family and could see performers and their expressions clearly.
Beautiful building, great staff.
Spacieux, luxueux Les indications pour les wc femmes ne sont pas claires
Magnifique Opéra National
We thought the opera house was beautiful and a delight to visit. The acoustics were very good and from balcony 1 we could see and hear very well. We hope we may be able to come again some time.
Gorgeous!
Beautiful stunning setting.
Tolles Opernhaus.
Super intimate venue. Was recently at the met in New York and much preferred the state opera in Prague. I liked that subtitles were on little screens at ones seat and above the stage.
magnifique
Superbe cadre, très confortable et tablettes individuelles pour suivre en anglais
L'opéra est superbe
The venue was wondeful. Beautiful theater, good viewing from the second balcony. We loved every moment we were at the event.
Très belle salle
very large stage, very good acoustic, very nice decoration
See comments above
The Prague State Opera House is a beautiful setting.
Beautiful place
tres Bel opéra. Si le bâtiment n’est pas impressionnant extérieurement, l’intérieur est splendide
The state opera house is magnificent. Who could possibly say anything less off it.
Beautiful theatre performing to consistently high standards
Excellent
Beautiful theatre and nice atmosphere
A beautiful building with excellent acoustics. Seating was very comfortable.
Un lieu magnifique à découvrir, chargé d'histoire et représentatif de l'architecture baroque. Pour profiter pleinement de l'ambiance n'hésitez pas à sortir la tenue de soirée !!!
This is just one of the historical places You need to see and experience in Prague.
Lieu magnifique où l'accueil est très soigné.
So gorgeous theatre
Un lieu incroyable et une équipe qui a su le guider pour mon emplacement. Au top!
How to describe the beauty of the Opera House? It was fantastic. Service was great and all the workers were very helpful.
Lieu magique Très belle salle Seul bémol…1er rang 1er balcon pas de place pour les jambes ..
Stunning place
Très beau théâtre
Très agreable
Beautyfull place!
Magnifique opéra
Everything about the opera is very well run, from the cloakrooms (no charge), to the programme sales, and the bars, where it was easy to order something to eat and drink for the interval and where the queue was very well managed with no pushing in. There were surtitles in Czech and English, and at each seat a tablet that gave Czech, English or German subtitles as well as interesting background on the production.
Marvellous building perfect to host this kind of performance.
Very good
On se sent comme dans un cocon. Très bel endroit et acoustique excellente.
Prague Opera House is considered among the most beautiful ones ! I would also like to thank the personnel, a very customer-friendly staff and service
a venerable old building with the most modern equipment. The opera could be translated into different languages on the Seat-display - all information was available there. The acoustics of the State Opera left nothing to be desired for me.
Such a beautiful opera house and good facilities.
Everything was super, payment was on the time we also hat sits booked which was also everything right !!!!thank u very much
Beautiful opera house!
L'opéra est spectaculairement beau
The recent renovation is stunning! The boxes are elegant but quite cramped, with barely enough room for the three front seats and two back seats. The back seats are higher so the visibility is good, but there is barely room to shift in your seat. The bar was reasonably priced. Crossing under the busy roadway to reach the venue is nerve-wracking but it is conveniently located to the historic center and subway, bus and train lines.
Incroyable de beauté
Beautiful venue. Sat in the first floor boxes which were incredible value. Highlight of my trip to Prague. Staff were also lovely and very helpful
Beautiful theatrete
Beautiful building and service from the friendly and caring team on site.
The venue was very clean and spacious. The organizing team were very helpful. Everyone speaks English.
l'Opéra d'État est un très bel édifice qui vaut le détour. Très bien équipé également, tablette individuelle incorporant le programme, le casting, les évènements à venir... et les sous titres.
Lieu absolument magnifique, qui vaut la peine d'être admiré à lui seul !
My first time to sit in such a grand venue! Very good experience to visit ‘Stat Opera’!
Wunderschöne Oper. Ich würde es wirklich jedem empfehlen
More information about the venue: for people who don't know Prague, there are several venue and the information must me clearer.
Love State Opera. The house is exquisite. Singers are excellent. Had a great time.
Everything excellent!
I don’t believe there is a bad seat in this theater. I had 2nd balcony seat and it was fine. They have a little screen in front of each seat where you get the “subtitles” - not every single word but you can follow what is going on. The same text is displayed above the stage in Czech and English so I ended up turning my device off.
A total pleasure to be in this fabulous venue.
The venue was terrific. The sound was excellent. We would definitely attend another event.
Absolutely gorgeous baroque building. Very comfortable chairs and the touch screens are very helpful. I went twice on my visit and both the booths and ground floor are very nice.
Stunning venue! Clean and well organized!
Splendid building but not wheelchair friendly
Although the building is splendid inside and out, I have to mark it down because it isn’t wheelchair friendly. It has a ramp outside but then there are steps to get into the building.
There’s no denying it’s a beautiful opera house inside and out. It’s not that wheelchair friendly, however. There’s a ramp for wheelchairs outside but then you are faced with steps and doors, some of which don’t fully open so getting in using a wheelchair is a struggle. That’s why I’ve marked it down.
An excellent venue.

Beautiful restored opera house that is a work of art.
A wonderful opera house
Inexpensive tickets, beautiful opera house, easy access by metro. Could use more legroom, but this is a historical opera house, so it's understandable.
Size of seat not big enough
Lovely theater, comfortable seats.
Don't sit in the front row of the balcony unless you're very short. We hit our knees.
Absolutely beautiful opera house, especially all the artwork/decor in the hall! Amazing acoustics and comfortable seats as well.
The venue is gorgeous, seating is very good Sound and translation screen was very good . When leaving, a long line formed at the parking garage - strange to having everyone standing around in their nice clothes.
The venue is beautiful but the seating chart and box office needs to do a better job of indicating obstructed seats. Surtitles were obstructed on one side. The auditorium door opened three times during Song to the Moon alone. That aria is the reason I came to the show and it was interrupted numerous times by staff and late arriving patrons which was very disappointing. (During the aria not during the pause.) Ushers repeatedly came and went from the auditorium.
Seats were excellent / comfortable and well maintained
On a les genoux sous le menton et il faisait une chaleur incroyable au 2e balcon.
The opera house is so beautiful, the chairs are comfy and like reserving intermission drinks.
Un spectacle merveilleux dans un lieu magnifique! Merci!
A beautiful theater worth seeing regardless of the performance.
What a beautiful venue!
The beautiful Prague State Opera House was wonderful and the event was beautifully run
Lovely opera house. Opening at 6pm instead of 6:15pm would be nice for pre show drinks.
The State Opera House was as magnificent as the performance. 😀
Magnifique
An exceptional venue
Wonderful the Prague Opera House
We had a beautiful box which had a perfect view of the stage . It was clean and comfortable too.
Il est de coutume de venir bien habillé, ce qui est normal et très agréable. En revanche, pourriez vous spécifier qu’il n’est PAS autorisé de porter des chapeaux !! Deux dames devant mon mari et moi en avait un et nous avons demandé à l’une d’elle, avec beaucoup de courtoisie, de le retirer et la réponse a été NON !! Jusqu’à l’entracte j’ai donc “ perdu “ une partie de l’opérette puisque je ne voyais pas le milieu de la scène , et nous avons dû changé de place après l’entracte. Je trouve cette attitude très égoïste et très mal élevée!!!! Merci de faire le nécessaire pour éviter ce genre de désagrément.
Seats are not confortable
Wow
Superb. Love the individual screens with translations
The balcony over Wilsonova crowned everything. Staff was very pleasant and polite, but customers behaved a little badly.
Very helpful staff
Welcomed by helpful Front of House staff and guided to the cloakroom to deposit coats (it was a very cold evening!) and to our seats in the beautiful Opera House.
Zentrale Lage. Wunderbares Gebäude.
Beautiful rococo style hall Even with a limited vision ticket one can have an overall view of the whole stage The personnel are very helpful and attentive
Didnt receive my glass of wine.
Superb staff and very well organised as to coats and drinks.
This was our first first to the Czech State Opera house and hope it won't be our last. The venue is splendid in every respect from the magnificence of the hall to the high tech aids. Completely wonderful.
It is my first time in a theater like this, magic moment. It made me feel so good, a beautifull view on the scene and the architecture as a lot of details. Magic place really.
BEAUTIFUL!!!
Great location with nice interior design
Absolutely beautiful venue, a place that the people of Prague can be justifiably proud of. Only criticism the drinks at the bar were expensive.
Patrimoine mondial ! C’est exceptionnel d'assister à un spectacle dans cet endroit là.
Stunning theatre and excellent facilities
Magnifique endroit
Great venue! The seats were comfortable and the box super clean, beautiful place!
Belle salle bien entretenue A
Visually sound and comfortable seating ensure a memorable occasion.
Intimate setting and good acoustics. Innovative set design.
Our seats were excellent, as were the acoustics. It’s such a beautiful venue. Ushers we’re friendly and helpful.
Une belle salle d'opéra
A beautiful building, well set up, so that you can see quite well even from further back, with very helpful and friendly staff.
Beautiful venue!
Very beautiful. Only thing I can't read the info on screens during the show. it could be nice to have it slightly bright so we can still read .
Compact but very lovely and traditional opera house, beautifully maintained and immaculately run. Quick queues for loos and bar alike.
One of the most beautiful venues in the world!
Dress code, it appeared that you could wear your beach wear and this was acceptable, well for me this was NOT acceptable.
Cadre historique. Salle excellente, acoustique impeccable et bien équipée.
Wunderbar
Beautiful little theater !!! Love it
Magnifique!
On était sur les côtes et pour apprécier la totalité du spectacle il fallait se tordre un peu le cou et se rapprocher de la barrière
The Prague State Opera is one of the most beautiful venues in the world.
Très bel opéra, rénové en 2020, à voir absolument pour son décors et surtout ses réprésentations d'opéras.
Très bel opéra, bien rénové. Salle très agréable
Spectacular setting for this performance, staff were very helpful and helped make it an excellent night.
Beautiful, warm, clean and welcoming. First class.
I'm a huge fan of the venue. It's design and ambiance are just exceeding the expectation of attending such an event.
Generally very good but my seat was extremely uncomfortable. The part that you actually sit on went down to far and was tilted forward. This combined with the height of the bar in front of me meant that I couldn’t see the stage without the bar going right through it. I had to either, slide down in the seat to see under the bar - very uncomfortable- or lean forward onto the bar so I could see over it. My seat was 2nd balcony Row 1 seat 25
The venue is incredible. The atmosphere given, the ambience and also the staff are so nice.
The State Opera of Prague is a really beautiful venue. The ornaments, the red carpet, the painted ceilings. The orchestra was between the stage and the public, which was very intimate. And yet, while the entourage was classic, every seat had a display with a translation of the phrases in both Czech and English. Also there were supertitles above the stage. In that way I could understand what they were singing. That completed the experience.
Magnifique opéra.
Fantastic venue.
Lieu exceptionnel de beauté, cet opéra est sublime! Tres facile d acces
You can't get much better than this historical venue. Prague State Opera is beyond beautiful, and is a must see if you can get there.
BEAUTIFUL BUILDING
perfect
The venue was beautiful, clean, and very good food.
State Opera is without doubt one of the most magnificent places in Prague. For every architecture lover one of the must visit places.
Lieu magique. Tout y est pour passer une soirée inoubliable.
Lieu magique, un superbe décorum pour passer un bon moment.
The State Opera house in Prague was the most elegant building that I'd ever had the chance to spend time in. Absolutely spectacular!
The beautiful venue is recently renovated and almost right up there with the world famous Royal Opera House in London. We saw La Boheme, and the 5th or so most performed opera in the history of the world was brilliantly performed. Easy to read subtitles, both at the top of the stage and bottom (your seat), and you might find yourself going back and forth between the two, which is ok.
We were extremely impressed by the renovation of the Prague State Opera venue. It is spectacular and we would rate it as the best venue we have ever attended.
Excellent refurbishment and restoration of the interior. Lovely to see the theatre refreshed.
The opera was wonderfully played. The seats were great aswell.
Magnifique, extraordinaire, sublime, abracadabrantesque !!!
Spectacular Opera House
Absolutely breathtaking venue. You must attend an event there when in Prague. Simply spectalular. And the staff is amazing too!
