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!

This eight member string ensemble is absolutely superb! They all sound like they could be members of the national symphony! The music was beautifully prepared and presented. We absolutely love the venue. Smetana hall has extraordinary acoustics which contributes to a very positive experience. Gorgeous Art Deco monument!

We loved the performances. The people playing were excellent. I like classical and dragged my family along, and they ended u0 liking it, and found pieces that appealed to them as well. Time well spent. The one change I would suggest is for them to speak to which piece they were playing. The theater itself is grand and the seats allow for good visibility.

Concert agréable dans une très belle salle. En mars, nous n’étions pas nombreux. Donc possibilité de profiter de très bonnes places, alors que j’avais pris le dernier tarif. Concert d’un heure qui crée une ambiance à la fois feutrée et chaleureuse.

In Prague for few days with my mum for a Xmas treat, came across this concert by accident and so pleased we went. It was the perfect length of just over an hour of well known classical pieces , played extremely well by a group of just 7 musicians. They really looked like they were enjoying themselves which added to our enjoyment of the performance. Acoustics of the art nouveau room was wonderful , but note this isn’t the main part of the building but downstairs next to the American bar ( lovely bar staff in there too!) it was a shame that some of the audience felt the need to either film parts on there phone or gaze at social media during the performance as I thought this was disrespectful. ! Put phone away and emerse yourself in the concert!
