Prague and Music with Private Guide \u2013 S5<\/h1>\n<\/div>

The city that breathes music at every step\u2026<\/em><\/p>

This tour that will take us to two Prague quarters situated on both sides of the Charles Bridge and introduce us to Prague as one of the main European centers of music. It\u2019s certainly not an accident that the expression \u201cEvery Czech is a musician\u201d became traditional.<\/p>

Our tour will follow the traces our two significant Czech composers, Anton\u00edn Dvo\u0159\u00e1k and Bed\u0159ich Smetana left on the capital, but our main interest will focus on W. A. Mozart, one of the greatest composers of all time. He came to Prague three times to enjoy its friendly and inspirational atmosphere. Credit for that goes particularly to his aristocratic friends from the Free Mason circles, who took great care of him, as well as the opera singer Josefina Du\u0161kov\u00e1 with her husband, a composer, who provided Mozart a family-like environment. We will walk through the places related to his Prague stays and operas that he conducted here. We will learn how he was influenced by the endless ovations, as well as the painful rejection of the audience at the Nostitz Theater that was then newly built. Today, it\u2019s the only historic theater that still exists in the world in which Mozart was active, known as the Estates Theater.<\/p>

As we walk and talk, we will naturally notice the ever present historic monuments. We can organize the tour so that it ends in front of one of the below listed museums that you can then visit.<\/p>\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\"\"\u00a0ST. NICHOLAS CHURCH<\/h3>

One of the most representative churches in the Czech Republic, an icon of Dynamic Baroque. The interior of this church is richly decorated with Baroque sculptures and impressive illusion-creating frescoes. Mozart himself used to play this church\u2019s organ that features over 4000 pipes. His dear friend opera singer Josef\u00edna Du\u0161kov\u00e1 then took on the sad task of singing Rosetti\u2019s Requiem upon Mozart\u2019s death. While Vienna was silent, over 4,000 Praguers came to pay their respects\u2026<\/p>
