Divadlo Kalich, Entertainment venue in Prague, Czech Republic
Divadlo Kalich is a theatre in central Prague that focuses on musicals and stage productions throughout the year. The hall has a wide stage and rows of seating arranged to give a clear view from most positions in the room.
The theatre opened in 1994, making it one of the newer venues to appear in central Prague after the political changes of the early 1990s. It was set up from the start to focus on musicals, a genre that was gaining a wider audience in the country at that time.
The name "Kalich" means "chalice" in Czech, and the theatre carries this name because it stands on Kalich Street in the heart of Prague. Inside, the stage is set up to handle large musical productions, with a wide playing area that allows for complex scenery and ensemble performances.
The theatre sits close to several metro stops in central Prague, so it is easy to reach on foot from many parts of the city. Booking in advance is a good idea, especially for popular productions that tend to fill up quickly.
The theatre is known for staging Czech-language versions of international musicals rather than importing foreign-language productions directly. This means that the songs and scripts are fully re-worked and performed by Czech singers and actors, giving each show a local character.
