"Hordubal", is a play (w/ substitute), quite interesting and I'm liking it!!! Plus love love , the before the show painted stage curtain (missed yesterday since I was 5mins late) and got to admired the European, they do enjoy the entertainment and also appreciated the art of intetmission. They do have drinks and snacks, plated sandwich(es) & sweets that is. They do really enjoying as a meal before and during the break.

Shame on the state opera! First the reception at the cloakroom: the lady who took our things…read moreliterally threw our bag on the floor and broke a honey pot that was inside. I could not attend the first part of the performance because all my belongings had to be cleaned (including electronics). Secondly, the administration: We agreed on a refund of the tickets which never arrived, despite an agreement in principle from the manager, repeated reminders and emails exchanged over 4 months. They even dared to tell me that I had seen the performance, even though I had missed the first part and was with the manager at the time. I can't recommend the state opera. In any case, as a foreigner who is not a recurrent customer, you are not treated properly there.

Unfortunately I didn't know this was a theatre/arts centre until I did much research to try and…read morefind the name of this place - we only came here for a beer, but were struck by the stunning architecture and felt that there was much more to it than initially meets the eye. The bar/restaurant area itself (as this, along with the toilets, was the only bit we saw) is modern and has clever lighting to create a really calm ambience. The guy behind the bar handled some obnoxious american tourists very well, and was noticably more chipper with us when we attempted (and failed) to speak Czech with him. The reason I loved it, apart from all the above? Kozel beer, by the bottle, dead cheap. And just what you want after a morning in the fresh air taking in the beautiful scenery around Vysehrad.

And I love every single one of them. Each one is unique and charm in it own way that just simply irresistible. The box seats are wonderful and velvety that make you feel in love with the culture and the art. It's not big but it is very imitated to the actors and to the story of being told on the stage. There is a big room overlook the river is for refreshments, such decor and the lighting make you feel like back to the good old days. Love it here.

Fantastic opera. I stayed for the entire performance and it was worth it even with jet lag!read more

I love seeing live theater! Black Light Theatre is unique...it's musical dance and light…read moreacrobatics, but with unique costumes and lighting so that you only see the parts that lit via "black light". 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.

This place is a little hard to find, off of the beaten path for tourists. It is, however, exactly…read morewhat we were looking for. Traditional Czech food that was half price of the restaurants in old town. I'd say they had the best goulash soup that we have eaten, which was a huge portion. The broth was very thick and filled with meat, not just broth, with big chunks of potatoes and carrots. The pork knuckle could be on or off the bone, it was like 2 servings. It came with white and purple sauerkraut and chives dumplings. I had the goulash, which was a hint of spicy with the paprika and onions. The dumplings (4) sopped up the rest of the gravy. Beers were also cheaper. Give it a go!
