The legacy of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is undeniable but the people of 18th-century Prague took their fandom to a new level. Citizens raised money to bring the maestro to their fair city and perform their most beloved opera for him.

This led to the premier of the beloved “Don Giovanni” in 1787 and the bond between the Czech capital and Mozart remains strong to this day.

To celebrate this bond, you can enjoy an evening of classical music and fabulous food at the Mozart Ballroom Concert.

Here's all you need to know about Mozart Ballroom Concert, one of the most captivating shows in Prague.

What is the Mozart Ballroom Concert about?

Prague’s Mozart Ballroom Concert is a celebration of one of the greatest composers that ever lived. It is a 3-part performance combined with a traditional 3-course meal to immerse you into the world of 18th-century chamber music.

The ensemble Amadeus Prague consists of 2 of the best Opera singers in the country, led by members of the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra.

All the performers are dressed in elaborate period costumes, perfectly matched to the classical ballroom.
