National Theatre Brno
The National Theatre Brno (Czech: Národní divadlo Brno) is the major theatre house in Brno. It was established in 1884 and modeled on the National Theatre in Prague.
Mahen Theatre
It now consists of three stages:
- Mahen Theatre (drama), originally the German-language Theatre on the Walls (construction finished in 1882), the first theatre building on the continent with electric lighting (designed by Thomas Alva Edison himself).
- Janáček Theatre (opera, ballet), a modern building from 1961–1965. Zdenĕk Neverla was appointed general director of the Janáček Opera House in 1990.[1]
- Reduta Theatre, the oldest theatre house in Central Europe, recently reconstructed. In December 1767 the twelve-year-old Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart gave a concert there.
