In A Nutshell: -The…read moreNational Marionette Theatre is a great place to catch a quick marinonette (hand puppet) show while you are in Prague. -The show lasts about 1 hour. -You can book tickets directly through the theatre website & they do not cost much. -The show is very entertaining w/ lot's of singing & various skits performing the overall love story. Overall, I would recommend going to a marionette show while you are in vacationing in Prague!

While some of you may get this idea that I'm just a big drunk when I travel, that's completely not…read moretrue. I become a bit of a culture vulture when I'm out of the U.S. of A. Museums are usually my go to spots, but when in Praha, one must see a puppet show. Not just a boring puppet show, but marionette style. What so unique about this? well, Mozart especially composed for Prague "the opera of operas" -- Don Giovanni. In 1787, Don Giovanni premiered at the Stavovské Theatre which Mozart personally conducted. The National Marionette Theatre takes this exceptional opera and presents it in stylish costumes and stage performance marionettes. It's performed in a unique architectural space, art deco style (read: old theater with very old, uncomfortable wooden seats built for skinny people) Since they want to stay authentic to the original, the whole thing is done in Italian. While I think Italian is like love music to the ears, I can't understand a thing. So, listen with your heart and if you're bored, they do sell alcoholic beverages in the lobby. * hic *

I love seeing live theater!

It's not quite Cirque de Soleil, or the circus, or vaudeville...but its very modern and Czech chic? You have to see it to believe it...fortunately these shows are all relatively cheap if you're American, British, or western European...the enchanting 80 minute show was only about 580CZK/$26, a great price for great entertainment! They do a variety of shows around Prague, some even cheaper. Very Czech! Black Light Theater started in 1989, performing artists Alexander Čihař and Eva Asterová wanted to create their own unique brand of entertainment and live theater...mission accomplished!

As part of the Prague experience we decided to go to a black light theater performance. While we…read moreenjoyed seeing a behind-the-scenes look at the production, that seemed to be one of the few positives in the 1.25 hour performance. While I'm not a dance expert, I know toes should be pointed, group choreography should be in sync and partner work shouldn't look dangerous during lifts. There definitely was the feel of a novice production with these aspects and the young age of the performers. With that in mind, the same joke about female anatomy was countlessly performed and it continued to sour. As we attended a performance specifically noted as child-appropriate some of the jokes seemed to be in poor taste.
