The National Theater is the most important theater and opera house in Prague. The building, built in the neo-Renaissance style, is considered a national symbol. On the occasion of the visit of Crown Prince Rudolf, the theater, which was not quite finished, was opened on June 11, 1881, with the premiere of Smetana’s opera Libusa, composed especially for the occasion. The ostentatious interior and exterior decoration catches the eye with its rich gilding.<\/p>\n
Today, the three ensembles of opera, ballet, and drama operate at the National Theater. In addition to classical plays, works from both domestic authors and modern world literature are performed.<\/p>\n
