Klementinum Classical Music Concert

For enthusiasts of classical music visiting Prague, attending a concert in the splendid Hall of Mirrors at the Klementinum is an experience not to be missed, featuring performances by the renowned Czech Royal Orchestra.

Concert in the Hall of Mirrors at the Klementinum

The Klementinum ranks among Europe’s most impressive and historically rich architectural sites. Established in the 11th century as a chapel devoted to Saint Clement, this landmark underwent a significant transformation during the 16th century. For centuries, it was a center of learning, home to one of the premier universities of the Holy Roman Empire, along with its iconic Baroque Library and the striking Astronomical Tower.

Nestled within this grand complex is the Hall of Mirrors, constructed in 1724. Its name derives from the remarkable arrangement of countless mirrors adorning its walls and ceilings. This design choice was not only aesthetically pleasing; it was a calculated effort to reflect the breathtaking frescoes on the ceiling, amplify the illumination from candles, and enhance the perception of space. Moreover, a sophisticated mix of fine woods, stucco, and marble has granted the chapel extraordinary acoustics, establishing it as a sanctuary of musical beauty from its very origins.

By securing tickets to this event, you will experience an enchanting evening in a venue accessible only for this concert. The Hall of Mirrors remains closed to visitors during the day, welcoming attendees solely for this musical occasion. This is a unique opportunity to appreciate this Baroque marvel from within.

The concert lasts for one hour and features the esteemed Czech Royal Orchestra, which will perform classic works from composers including Vivaldi, Mozart, Handel, Beethoven, Bach, Chopin, Bizet, Verdi, and Smetana.
