Rudolfinum is the most famous concert building in Prague and the seat of the Czech Philharmonic

The main Dvořák Hall is considered as one of the most beautiful concert halls in Prague with excellent acoustics particularly suitable for symphonic and oratorial, as well as chamber music. There is also a magnificent organ in the Dvořák Hall. Festive atmosphere and great classical music and jazz concerts in Rudolfinum will not let you forget this exceptional venue.

The elegant Neo-Renaissance building of Rudolfinum was built between 1876-1884. It was conceived as a multipurpose cultural center with concert and exhibition halls. The building was taken under the patronage of the heir of the Habsburg throne, the archduke Rudolph after whom the building was named.

Between 1919 and 1941 Rudolfinum served temporarily as an assembly hall of Czech Parliament. Since then it has functioned as a concert hall, exhibition space, and a seat of the Czech Philharmonic. Two concert halls stage the most prominent classical music concerts such as the Dvořák Prague or Prague Spring festivals.

In 1896 the Czech composer Antonín Dvořák conducted Czech Philharmonic performing his Symphony No. 9 "From the New World". That´s how the history of Czech Philharmonic, Rudolfinum and Dvořák Hall began...

The opening concert of the Czech Philharmonic was outstanding and a sold-out performance. Prague Ticket Office made booking tickets very easy. Everything went so smoothly after booking online from USA several months ago. Highly recommend them -- worked like a charm!!

PragueTicketOffice: Dear Loren, On behalf of Prague Ticket Office team, I thank you very much for such a nice review. We are happy that you enjoyed the Czech Philharmonic concert as well as our services. Best regards Eva from Prague Ticket Office

Soirée fantastique à laquelle j'avais invité trois dames presque nonagénaire, venues de France pour découvrir Prague. Excellente direction d'orchestre, et des musiciens enthousiasmants. Des spectateurs participatifs. Soirée inoubliable.
