clcmdse Posted May 10, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 10, 2018 This is a question about the Prague classical concerts. We will be staying in Prague post river cruise. for a few days. The last time I was there was 1998. I remember very fondly how the churches opened their doors to the most beautiful classical and baroque concerts. We would just walk in that evening and pay at the door. My question is whether I need to secure tickets in advance. There are several websites that sell them. But I was not sure if we need to get them ahead of time. Catherine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laverendrye Posted May 10, 2018 #2 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I was last in Prague five years ago and very much enjoyed the church concerts. I attended several, both noon-hour and late afternoon or early evening. I found no need to buy in advance. The thing I liked about these concerts was the varied repertoire, unlike concerts in many other cities where it seems that the only works on offer are The Four Seasons, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik and the like.

clcmdse Posted May 11, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Thank you both for your replies. Delighted to hear that 20 years has not changed this beautiful Prague tradition. Can’t wait. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel54 Posted May 13, 2018 #5 Share Posted May 13, 2018 (edited) I recall when we were there two years ago that St. Nicholas church was having concerts. I thought you could get the tickets at the door but not 100% sure about that. Church on Tyn also has them: https://www.pragueexperience.com/opera-concerts/opera-concerts.asp Edited May 13, 2018 by Rebel54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We spoke about nabbing St Nicholas tix online before we head over. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOShrink Posted May 14, 2018 #7 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Catherine, if you are a real classical music junkie, you could conceivably go to 6 or more concerts in one day in Prague! Even at night you could go to a 6 pm recital in a church and make an 8 or 9 pm opera! Speaking of opera, don’t miss the ESTATES THEATRE where Mozart conducted the world premiere of Don Giovanni. It’s one of the most stunning historical and plush opera houses you will ever see. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
