Theatres
The Czech National Theatre is a great venue for ballet and opera. It is an enormous complex with several stages, and encompasses the national opera and ballet companies. Laterna Magika is part of the National Theatre although it is located in a separate, futuristic building. It is one of the major European troupes and at the forefront of multimedia theatre. This popular genre blends music, mime, ballet, surrealism and satire into a powerful mélange that transcends the language barrier. State Opera stages seminal opera, ballet and dance productions. Estates Theatre is Prague's oldest concert hall, where Mozart conducted the premiere of his opera, Don Giovanni, in 1787. The longest-running classical marionette shows take place at the National Marionette Theatre.

There are more than 40 theatres in Prague. Apart from big theatres with a classical repertoire, there are smallish theatres - these came into existence mostly in the sixties of the last century to criticize the totalitarian regime, and they have been playing the role of critics and innovators ever since. There are also several new experimental theatres in Prague, such as the Black Theatre or the Pantomime Theatre.

For a typically Czech theatrical experience, you can choose from three distinctive performance genres, all of which are great for visitors as they are language-free and held in Prague's city centre. Laterna Magika situated next to the National Theatre is a mix of film, visual effects, sound and ballet. Always evolving, the themes are fresh and exciting, and performances are well worth the price.
