Divadlo Rokoko, theatre in Prague, Czech Republic
Divadlo Rokoko is a theatre housed inside a historic palace building in central Prague, close to Wenceslas Square. The interior features a traditional stage-and-auditorium layout, and the facade of the building shows Rococo decorative elements that gave the venue its name.
The venue opened in 1915 as a cabaret offering singing, sketches, and parodies, and it quickly became a popular entertainment spot in the city. After a period of closure and other uses during and after World War II, it reopened in 1958 as a dedicated stage for comedies and variety shows.
The name of the theatre comes from the Rococo style of the palace that houses it. The programming tends toward comedy, concerts, and variety shows, which gives the venue a relaxed and open feel that attracts a wide range of audiences.
The theatre is a short walk from Wenceslas Square, making it easy to reach on foot from much of the city center. Since the surrounding streets are busy, arriving a little early gives you time to find the entrance without rushing.
During the years between the two world wars, the cabaret drew some of the best-known comedians and performers of the day, making it one of the key entertainment venues in the city at that time. That reputation for comedy and variety stuck, and it still shapes the type of shows that fill the programme today.
