State Opera
The Prague State Opera is one of the best known operas in Europe, offering ballet and opera shows since 1888, and at prices which remain extremely attractive.
The State Opera (in Czech: Státní opera) was founded in 1888, where the New Town Theatre was situated. It opened as the New German Theatre and then was known as the Smetana Theatre. It is currently called State Opera or Prague State Opera.
The building was reconstructed during the eighties. Nevertheless, it still maintains certain elements from the late nineteenth century since it was first built such as the red velvet, the chandeliers and the gilded stucco
