Prague
- A city of fine architecture and music and theatre
Prague
is a unique and beautiful city and we cannot sing
its praises enough. Totally unspoilt by war, its
old and (central) new town centres feature a diverse
range of architecture dating from 13th - 18th century
buildings in virtually every street and corner.
Music:-
there are few cities that can compete with its range
of classical music. Three Opera Houses, four concert
halls and some ten other concert venues in buildings
constructed around the 1600's.
Jazz is
well catered for with six locations including the
one in which Bill Clinton played and joined a 'Jam
Session'!
Theatre: -
five which offer mime, music and even two which offer
marionettes in two hour productions of classical
opera or musicals.
Prices: -
low for the quality - where else can you get a seat
at the Opera for £6? The Opera houses are delightful
and even if you don't like Opera or Ballet are worth
a visit - The Estates Theatre was built in 1745 and
here Mozart premiered his Don Giovanni Opera. The
State Opera House is near Wenceslas Square and the
Narodni (National) overlooking the river.
