The neo-Renaissance building of the National Theatre (www.national-theatre.cz) is a major ballet, drama and opera venue.
The theatre was opened in1881. Some 12 performances took place here before a fire destroyed the building in August of the same year. This made the Czech nation determined to collect more money to fund rebuilding work. In 1883 the theatre was completed and opened once again. This nationalist effort and enthusiasm gave rise to the motto ‘The nation unto itself’ (Národ sobě), which appears on the stage curtain at the National Theatre.
In addition to the National Theatre, visitors can also see performances at the Estates Theatre (famous as Mozart’s favourite venue) and the Kolowrat Theatre.
