Divadlo v Dlouhé, Theatre venue in Staré Město, Prague, Czech Republic

Divadlo v Dlouhé is a repertoire theatre in Prague's Old Town, housed in a 1929 art deco building designed by Emil Sušický and Pavlo Sydow for operetta. The company founded in 1996 performs on a single stage, using live music, singing, puppetry and movement in its productions.

The theatre opened in 1996, not long after the political changes of 1989 that brought new freedom to Czech cultural life. Since then it has grown into a regular part of the Prague theatre scene, with a company that has built its own identity over the years.

The venue showcases performances that highlight the musical and physical abilities of its actors through alternative and cabaret productions. Visitors experience artistic expressions that step outside conventional theatrical forms.

The theatre is easy to reach on foot from the centre of the Old Town, and it is worth checking the programme in advance since some shows are aimed at children or young audiences. Tickets go on sale on weekdays from around midday and before weekend performances.

The repertoire includes shows made for audiences ranging from young children to high school students, which is not common among theatres of this type in Prague. This means school groups are a regular presence in the building on many afternoons.
