A Theatre In Front Of The Curtain: Stavovské divadlo

The editor Dana Flídrová presents the building of the Estates Theatre, circumstances of its origin and interesting facts from the theatre background. Little by little, the reader may read about every work of art, every floor and anything that is worth noticing. The building dedicated to Patriae et Musis (To the Homeland and the Muses) was a witness of long-time struggles among the German and Czech theatre makers and devotees. Therefore, this theatre carries both Mozart’s legacy as well as traces of the Czech National Enlightenment.
