antonin dvorak theater

One of the most incredible theatres I've visited !The neo-baroque architecture is wonderful to see, as there are much details in the sculptures and the heavy chandeliers are lightening up the atmosphere.The acoustic is just perfect for a smooth sound in operas. (You just have to find the right spectacle to go to verify that point !)I warmly recommend this place if you're a fan of culture.

The Antonin Dvorak Theatre is main theatre in Ostrava and belongs to National theatre Moravian-Salesian. Very nice hiszorical building in centre of Ostrava. Many famous dramas, ballets and operas are played there.

There are very few theatres of this quality in the UK. It's one of the reasons I love eastern europe. If you have been to the Buxton Opera House, it is similar. Everything is gold leaf with paintings of cherubs on the ceiling, a huge chandelier in the centre and little crystal wall lights everywhere. In common with other Czech theatres, there are a lot of boxes, about 20, and then the auditorium, circle and gallery. Prices for the ballet are jaw-droppingly cheap by UK standards. I just booked 3 top seats in the circle for The Nutcracker at Christmas for £25 - that's IN TOTAL. And for this I will get a ballet danced by a company of over 30 dancers who are based at the theatre with rehearsal studios etc. This is the way in eastern europe. Towns of modest size have top quality government subsidised theatres that perform ballet, opera and musicals. This is no exception and has an orchestra of 40+ musicians with timpani, harp etc etc. During the day, be sure to wander around the back of the theatre too to find a little known outdoor minature village containing models of many european landmarks. It is the other side of the carpark!

a beautiful restored theatre full of history and great performances. Talented artists from all over the world

comfortable place, sometimes very good but quality varies

Worth visiting mainly for the opera ballet performances. It is one of the most photographed attractions in the city center :)

Habe eine Vorstellung der Anna Bolena erlebt mit einer erstklassigen Sängerin in der Titelpartie -das Theater hat ein extrem hohes Niveau und die Atmosphäre ist sehr angenehm, außerdem sehr günstige Preise.
