This neo-classical opera house opened in 1907 and has witnessed a great deal of change in its time. In the years between its foundation and the First World War only German performances were held here.
From 1918 the building was nationalised as it remained until the Velvet Revolution when it was named after the Czech composer Antonín Dvořák .
Book a seat for one of the operas or ballets hosted at the theatre, both for the show and to see the opulent interior neo-baroque decoration; there’s liberal use of gold leaf, sculptures, a huge chandelier in the main hall and sumptuous paintings depicting cherubs and the like.
