Prague’s Concert Venues

Klementinum in the Old Town - Most of the concerts are held in the Mirror Chapel.  You will be among the greats in here as Mozart once played in this very same room.  In addition, tourists can take a tour of the building before a concert gets underway.  Municipal House - The Czech National Symphony Orchestra calls the Municipal House home and you can see any number of fabulous classical concerts within its walls.

North of the museum along Wilsonova, next to the Parliament building, is the massive building of the Prague State Opera (Státní opera). The State Opera was first opened in 1888 as the Neues Deutches Theatre (as a Prague German stage with the performance of Wagner's opera, The Mastersingers of Nürnberg).
