Prague Symphony Orchestra live in Prague

Experience Prague Symphony Orchestra live on October 26th

The Prague Symphony Orchestra will perform at Smetana Hall within the Municipal House in Prague on October 26, 2026. The orchestra maintains a broad repertoire spanning from the classical period through contemporary works, with a noted strength in performing compositions by Czech composers like Dvořák, Smetana, and Janáček. It is recognized for its dynamic interpretations and technical proficiency, frequently collaborating with internationally acclaimed soloists.

The Municipal House (Obecní dům) is a significant example of Art Nouveau architecture in Prague, completed in 1912. Designed by a collective of leading Czech artists and architects, it was conceived as a representative cultural centre intended to rival Vienna’s Burgtheater. Smetana Hall, the primary concert venue within the building, is renowned for its exceptional acoustics and opulent interior decoration featuring works by prominent Czech artists such as Alfons Mucha.

The hall’s design incorporates gilded stucco work, allegorical paintings celebrating Czech history and artistic achievement, and a large central chandelier. Its acoustic properties are due to specific architectural features including the shape of the hall and materials used in its construction – notably wood panelling – which contribute to sound clarity and resonance.
