Superb opera house with magnificent interior. We saw Puccini's "Madama Butterfly": in Italian, of course, but with Czech and English subtitles. The most expensive seats were 1150 Crowns - less than £40! Even more surprising was the very low cost and excellent service in the several bars around the theatre.

The AMAZING National Theatre of the Czech Republic is great to visit and walk around, even if you are not attending a show. Beautiful juxtaposition of old building and new, with art installations out at the front when I visited (ballet from Russia with a really cool caravan)....loved it!

We stumbled upon the National Theatre, when looking for something to eat. The building is truly magnificent, but is not seen to advantage as the other streets have encroached and blocked the long distance views.

We were fortunate enough to order tickets several months ahead of time for a ballet during our four day stay in Prague. I was pleasantly surprised by the various levels of prices available. The National Theater is really a beautiful venue in which to see a production. The view along the river either before the show or during intermission is... More

On the advise of the ticket agent, we took our family( 2 kids) to see "Crazy Stuff" at Narodni divadlo, to see a modern dance show. After 10 minutes of listening to 2Pac, 50 Cents and Eminim music to dance moves about having sex, and killing people, we decided it was not for the family. So if you are an... More

Yes, the operas do have a Czech bias, but if those operas include Rusalka, the Bartered Bride or any of Janacek's 5 greatest operas that is not a problem. I have seen some good Puccini, an outstanding Ring cycle as well as (on my recent visit) a most unusual Robert Wilson production of Katya Kabanova. Drinks are amazingly cheap, surtitles... More

And I mean it!:) Of course if you're not a ballet or opera or classical peace's lover! All the other people, just admire it from the outside, take some pictures from the bridge next to it, go and have a look at it in the evening when illuminated. I have been to the Hamlet performance, which must have been great... More
