In this untraditional composed presentation we shall invite the audience with spoken words into the world of ballet 'behind the scenes' - focusing on training and preparation of dancers before they step onto the stage with their supreme performance. From a dialogue led by our guides the audience will learn about the development of ballet from court dances to the present, and how the supreme technique of classical dance was formed. In short samples the National Theatre's corps de ballet and soloists will demonstrate some interesting forms of ballet and methods of choreography. At the end we shall also present ballet in its comic form.

Duration: 150 min.

In 1787 the world premiere of Don Giovanni was held at the Estates Theatre, with the great Amadeus Mozart himself conducting...

The Theatre of the Estates is one of the most beautiful historic theatre buildings in Europe. The aristocrat František Antonín Count Nostitz Rieneck, fired by a desire to enhance the charm of his native city and the minds of his fellow citizens, had this edifice built. It took not quite two years to construct and the theatre was officially opened in 1783 with a first performance of the tragedy Emilia Galotti by Lessing. Originally the theatre was dubbed Count Nostitz’s Theatre. This exceptional project for Prague of the time corresponded to the prevailing spirit at the end of 18th century when national theatres were being built at European courts, in towns and cultural centres in keeping with the visions of enlightenment promoted by facilitating general access to theatres, considered to be moral institutions demonstrating the cultural standard of a nation. The inscription above the portal reads Patriae et Musis - To the Native Land and the Muses. This motto serves as a proof of the founder’s original intention and has lost none of its validity to this day. When this theatre was linked to the National Theatre, the latter’s motto “The Nation Unto Itself” became a natural complement to the former.
