Musical Theatre Karlín, Neo-Renaissance theatre in Karlín district, Prague, Czech Republic.
Musical Theatre Karlín is the second largest theatre building in Prague, featuring a classical auditorium with modern stage equipment for musicals and operettas. The interior combines traditional theatre architecture with functional design to accommodate different production types.
The building was founded in 1881 as Théâtre Variété and was originally a circus venue before entrepreneur Eduard Tichý transformed it into a musical theatre space. A major renovation in 1897 gave the venue its current theatrical form.
The theatre regularly presents Czech and international musicals on its stage. Productions range from classic operettas to contemporary shows, attracting audiences from across the city.
The venue is located in Prague's Karlín district and provides wheelchair accessibility for visitors. Online ticket booking simplifies planning and allows you to purchase in advance.
The curtain used at every performance is an original from Vienna, installed during the 1897 renovation under architect Bedřích Ohmann's direction. This piece has remained in use longer than most other elements of the stage.
