Built in 1888, the Prague State Opera has undergone several renovations, with the latest being the most extensive. The stage turntable and air-conditioning system were upgraded, artists received modern rehearsal rooms, and new facilities were added, including chairs with subtitling equipment and a new curtain. The reconstruction, which cost CZK 1.3 billion, took nearly three years.
The opening ceremony held five years ago was intended to be a spectacular event with the participation of European politicians.
