Fun evening

I’m not really an opera fan so got a little bored in the first half (Don Giavani), the show was amusing and the puppeteers has a good sense of humour

Outside is Gorgeous

I had not heard about his theater beforehand, so we only saw it from the outside, and it is beautiful. Going by what I read after the fact, I wish we would have been able to attend a performance here!

Pure Delight!

We attended a simply wonderful production of Don Giovanni that never failed to entertain and delight. The artistry that went into making the puppets themselves as well as that of the puppeteers was truly marvelous! A must-see in Prague!!

Terrific Don Giovanni

This cute little theater puts on an incredible performance of the opera Don Giovanni (which Gustave Flaubert called, along with Hamlet and the sea, "the three finest things God ever made") and it is wonderfully and comically performed by marionettes (and occasionally the puppeteers as...More

When you thought you had seen it all

We've seen Don Giovanni a few times, but never with puppets. It was very entertaining, and the puppeteers were very skilful. It's better to sit in the back so that you see the whole stage and there are not too many heads in front of...More

Very nice

We and our boys 9, 7 and 5 really enjoyed the magic flute. What a nice surprise as we did not really know what to expect. Recommendable.

Nice and refreshing experience

The first time in marionette theater in my life. I have seen the opera Don Giovanni once before, live. The theater as a place is quite ok, the only drawback is noisy chairs that are made of wood and without any cushioning. The performance itself...More

This marionette show experience was amazing! I watched Don Giovanni with my family and we all enjoyed it. The show was hilarious, despite the fact that none of us speaks Italian, and all of the performers were absolutely splendid. I believe that people of all...More

Stare Mesto (Old Town)

One of the oldest neighborhoods in town represents the
medieval heart of Prague. It’s no surprise it is
bustling with tourists every time of day. Križovnický
square, overlooking Charles Bridge with Prague Castle
in the background, is probably the most beautiful
square in the city. Its unique historical atmosphere
of gothic houses and churches, cobblestone streets and
squares, and stone towers blend together with the
