The opera company in Prague has been open for more than 100 years, and has developed a reputation as one of the finest exponents of classical Italian Opera in the world, with performances of the work of luminaries such as Rossini, Puccini, Donizetti and Verdi amongst the best of the repertoire.
In the run up to Christmas the State Opera have a programme of popular classical music that includes a wide range of influences, and is a perennial favourite with visitors to the city.
