Spend Christmas Eve or Christmas Day with Mozart's opera arias, carols and a festive four-course dinner in Prague's historic Boccaccio Ballroom.
Excellent opera singers and musicians. A historically protected hall in the heart of Prague. Exceptional cuisine.
On December 24 and 25 the Mozart Dinner turns festive: the program ends with a Christmas part, the dinner has four courses with a choice of zander or duck, and every ticket includes a welcome glass of Prosecco and a drinks package.
The Boccaccio Ballroom is a breath-taking beauty and a masterpiece of artificial marble, gold and crystal glass. Located in the very heart of Prague's Old Town, it is one of the city's legendary venues, where grand parties and dinner shows have long been held.
