Hello and thanks to everyone for making trip planning so pleasant. I went on 2 different websites for opera tickets, onesite (www.ticketsbti.cz) had tickets that seems like the orchestra they were called pri p and were 1030CZ/ticket The other site (http://www.ticketsonline.cz) had tickets for 1000CZ and were called Boxes First Balcony the Middle - Front Seats / Lóže I. balkón støed - pøední místa. Could someone please tell me which is more preferable seating, we%26#39;ll be going with 3 children youngest 7, they%26#39;ll be able to sit.

I have been in the boxes on the first balcony at the Estates,from what I can remember,ther were only 3 seats in them,but there was room for 6 seats.I was there during the floods of 2002 and the theatre was very quiet,there was only the 2 of us in the box (no11).the theatre is quite small and i think you get a good view from any position in the theatre.I must admit the view I got from the box we had was great.The lower and higher number boxes will give a more side on view and the middle numbers a more central one.I think there is 18-20 boxes.when are you going,as i will be in the Estates again at the beginning of March.

We are going in April. From what I heard on the radio last night Mozart seemed to have had a love affair with Prague so we are can%26#39;t wait to go. The estates opera site informes one that his premiere of Don Giovanni was in Prague in 1787. There is lots of good opera on the schedule for March. So if you are interested, enjoy. The prices at estates is a fraction of the Met in NY.

I have been to see Don Giovani in the Estates threatre in 2002 ,it was fantastic,I will be there early March and will be going to see a programme of excerts from many of Mozarts operas.this is the 250th aniversary of his death.I will have a look around and give you an update on the place when I get back

Many thanks Gus, do you have a suggestion regarding which site to book the tickets with? So you%26#39;d say the box is just as good as the orchestra? I don%26#39;t know when in March you%26#39;re going but I saw the Magic Flute playing and some other great stuff. Do you have any other recommendations for Prague? The photos I%26#39;ve seen of Prague look spectacular.

www.estatestheatre.cz has a link to a seating plan.
I have booked my tickets through www.ticketsbti.cz and have arranged for them to go to my hotel.
I booked the VIP tickets,don%26#39;t know what I will get for that,but as it is very cheap compared to what I pay for concerts in Britain,I don%26#39;t mind........and I am on holiday,so I do like to treat myself.
there is usually lots of classical music on in Prague and I have been to concerts at the Municiple house,which is a fantastic venue(I will be doing a tour of it when in Prague).there are concerts held in the Rudolfinium,and at the state Opera and National theatre as well as many other places throughout the city.If you go to the Tourist office when you get there,they will have a list of what is a vailable and can usually sell you tickets.

Thanks, unfortunately we are only in town for three days so I am not sure how much music we will be able to experience. I see marionettes mentioned frequently in this forum, with 3 children in tow is that something you would recommend?
|||
it is not something i have seen.I believe there is a childrenc museum in Prague.
if you go to www.livingprague.com there is a page about things to do for children in Prague.It is run by Jason (Sova) a regular and very helpful contributor to this forum,lots of other great information on all sorts if things and links to other great sites too.
|||
Thanks so much, I did see it earlier and bookmarked it. Would you recommend his brochure
and map he sells?
|||
that might be a good idea for you.and possibly one of the starter packs,I have been going to Prague for over 12 years now,and wish the information on his website was available to me years ago.
I don%26#39;t know about his map and what area it covers ,but I would think that for the short time you are in Prague it will be more than sufficient.I like to have a map that covers a wider area as I tend to visit further out than the main city centre and also like to have one that incorporates the Tram routes.
If you do have any specific questions put them on the forum and Sova,Peb and Martina are more than likely able to answer them.

Take the box (provided it is front row seat). You are higher up (2nd row of boxes - the 1st row is at the back of the auditorium), but the theatre is small and you should still have a good view if your box is in the middle.
Best thing about the boxes is that they have coat racks in them and you don%26#39;t need to bother with the horrendous queues at the common garderobe at the end of the performance. You can also make the champagne queue at the interval much quicker
