  • Patriotic Czechs funded the theatre’s construction twice: once in 1868 and again after fire destroyed the building in 1883. To see the stunning allegorical ceiling frescoes and Vojtěch Hynais’ celebrated stage curtain, take in one of the operas staged here; good picks are Smetana’s Libuše , which debuted on this stage, or Dvořák’s The Devil and Kate . Next door is Laterna Magika, where you can see black-light productions (see Laterna Magika).
