Located in Prague's Vinohrady district, the State Opera is a Renaissance Revival opera house designed by the architectural firm Fellner & Helmer and completed in 1888. Originally opened as the New German Theatre, it was renamed the Smetana Theatre from 1949 to 1989 before adopting its current designation as the Prague State Opera. Now part of the National Theatre of the Czech Republic (established in 1992), the building hosts approximately 300 performances annually and holds the status of a cultural monument of the Czech Republic.
