We didn't go in or experience an opera but just to think that Mozart premiered 'Don Giovanni' here is incredible!

This is Mozarts favourite theatre which he did his premieres. He loved Prague and the Estates. We went for Le Nozze Di Figaro. Real feast of act and music. Must do, if you have 3 hrs time for watching an opera in the city.

Estates theatre is pleasurable experience if you like something special, cultured and old. Imagine a theatre where young Mozart actually conducted his operas. Standing outside looking at the external stairs if you shut your eyes you can see this young man in a wig dashing up before the performance. The interior is luxurious but intimate with high balconies and decorated... More

The Estates Theater is centrally located, there are many restaurants nearby. Grab a quick bite to eat first, and then make your way to your show. You can purchase tickets the same-day even during the busy season in the summer. I saw a Mozart concert. Most concerts unless otherwise indicated last only 1 hour, so you can easily include a...

Where else you can hear Mozart operas in authentic environment. As this is relativity small theater, you truly have wonderful experience of dropping back in XVIII century and listening for good quality performance in intimate environment. Evening performances are highly recommended, day performances of Mozartissimo perhaps is not what you are looking for to get the experience I have described

We booked tickets to Don Giovanni here, considering the history of Mozart with this theatre it seemed worthwhile, but be careful, we spoke to people after, and apparently the sound is not great in the balcony up the top. Otherwise the performance was fantastic and the theatre is absolutely gorgeous. For music lovers I would suggest this is a must... More

Together with the Natonal Theater (Narodni divadlo) these are the two most beautiful theaters you can visit in the Czech Republic. Beautiful building located in the heart of Prague, walking distance to both Wenceslas and Old Town Squares. Definitely worth going if you can find a play in English.

5 of us saw Mozarts Don Giovanni in this theatre. The theatre itself is spectacular although we had a bit of trouble with our seats, we booked a box and got put in stalls to then find out that our seats had been double booked, so we all had to sit apart. However this did not effect my judgement of... More

The Estates' Theater happened to be on our Discover Prague walking tour that came with our hotel booking. It is also listed in the 1,000 things to see before you die book. I was fascinated by the outside of the building (I did not go inside). It looked like something I would see in Charleston, South Carolina, USA. I was... More

We booked a box for 5 in advance and when the tickets arrived we received seats in the stalls, but were not offered Any compensation. When we arrived at the theatre they had doubled booked our seats and consequently we could not sit together. We were told to sit anywhere. This involved our party of 5 being split up with... More
