An evening of elegance and harmony at Prague's Spanish Synagogue — the Czech Collegium and soprano perform works by Bach, Mozart, Vivaldi, Dvořák and Gershwin.
The Spanish Synagogue, built in 1868 in dazzling Moorish Revival style inspired by the Alhambra, is widely regarded as the most beautiful synagogue in Europe — its golden arabesques and rare acoustics make it an unforgettable concert setting in the heart of Prague's Jewish Quarter.
