The Smetana Hall is the most famous and largest concert hall of the Municipal House in Prague
Prague Municipal House and the splendid interior of its main hall, named after famous Czech composer Bedřich Smetana, will take your breath away. The best way how to explore this exquisite hall is to attend one of the great classical concerts held here.
Built as a tribute to Bedřich Smetana - world known Czech composer. Representative Smetana Hall was the site of the independent Czechoslovak Republic declaration in 1918. Nowadays it serves predominantly as a concert hall.
Beautiful Art Nouveau decorations – paintings with Slavic motifs, decorative stained glass ceiling, gilded lamps, beautiful organ – all this creates an unusually harmonic whole, which is a worthy area for implementation of the greatest treasures of Czech and world classical music.
The Municipal House in Prague was built at the place of the former Royal Court in 1912 to celebrate the Czech nation. It is a representative building which for its splendour and beautiful decorations is one of the jewels of Prague architecture. Although the building is usually described as an "Art Nouveau" edifice it is more of a blend of neo-Baroque, neo-Renaissance, western and oriental influences and Czech Art Nouveau style.
Today, the Municipal House in Prague offers a wide range of multifunctional premises in which all sorts of events are held (exhibitions, conferences, fashion shows, charity events, companies' shows, etc.). There is also a great and highly recommendable French restaurant, Municipal House Café and American bar.
Municipal House is, above all, a great venue for Prague classical music concerts and one of the prime venues of the world-famous Prague Spring Festival.
Do not miss your chance to visit great classical music concert in one of the nicest concert venues in Prague!

I went into this thinking of it as mostly an opportunity to check out the Smetana Hall (I hadn't been able to find the guided tour tickets due to their mobile website not working properly - it's only later that I thought of checking the desktop version, and sure enough there were the visit tickets - WELL worth doing too for the other 9 rooms of Community House) Seeing the very predictable, tourist-friendly playlist, I wasn't expecting too much, but I found myself completely engrossed in these ten artists' careful interpretation of these beasts of classical standards. These surroundings, their heart-stopping beauty, their nationally significant history and their perfect acoustics all contributed to draw from these well-known, (and maybe too-often trodden) notes a sense of freshness, with occasional glimpses, for me at least, into how it must have felt to hear them for the first time.

Interprétation de bonne qualité mais : Trop court Pas assez de monde ( salle moitié vide ) On sent que le spectacle est très ( trop ) rôde pour les touristes .

Nous avons adoré ! Nous étions en famille avec nos enfants de 20 ans. Un moment sublime dans un lieu sublime. Je recommande à 100%!

Incredibly talented musicians, great choice of songs but for my opinion too short for the price. 1.5 hours would do more for the ticket prices.

The string chamber orchestra, while smaller than anticipated, were wonderful, a delight to listen to. I was somewhat underwhelmed by the way that the seats were allocated however (the impression being that it was nearly sold out, rather than the reverse).
