Prague concerts are one of the greatest attractions of the city. The city of Prague is one of the oldest in Europe and has been a cultural melting pot from the very early years of its formation. It is therefore no surprise, that the 'Old Quarter' of Prague houses some of the most impressive concert halls in Europe. The best of the orchestras and operas conduct their musical shows in these age-old concert halls of Prague. Concerts in Prague are held almost all year round, and are attended by thousands of visitors as well as local residents.
Some of the greatest concert venues include the following:
Rudolfinum Concert Hall: Built between 1876-1884, this hall hosts concerts by the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra at fairly regular intervals. There are two halls in this concert hall. The Dvorak Hall, named after the legendary composer golds major recitals. The Suk Hall is smaller and is ideal for solo perfomances, both vocal and instrumental. The elegance of the building never fails to add to the attraction of the performances.

St. George's Basilica: This oldest church building within the historic Prague Castle is presently a concert hall. The great altar paintings and the frescoes provide an ideal setting for Classical concerts.
Bertramka Mozart Museum and Concert Hall: Graced with the memory of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the Bertramka residence is now a concert hall, where classical concerts are held almost intermittently from April to September.
Municipal House Concert Hall: This is the building that houses the biggest concert hall in Prague. Although performances are held infrequently, yet the grandeur of the building never fail to enthrall the visitors. And on those occasions when concerts are held, the entire experience becomes something to cherish for the visitors.
Apart from the above, there are a number of other halls where Prague concerts are regularly held. The visitors always have a chance to feast their ears on some great music by experiencing a concert of Prague.
