Antonín Dvořák Theatre
Overview
The Antonín Dvořák Theatre is an opera house in Ostrava that opened in 1907. Since 1919, it has served as one of two permanent stages of the National Moravian-Silesian Theatre. Travellers visit to attend opera, ballet, and drama productions, or to view the historic exterior in the central district.
Getting There
The venue is located in central Ostrava. From the main central square, Masarykovo náměstí, it takes approximately 5 minutes on foot. Local public transit lines also stop at nearby tram and bus stations.
Time to Allow
Budget 15 to 30 minutes if you are stopping only to see the exterior. If you are attending a performance, plan for 2.5 to 3.5 hours depending on the specific show and intermission length.
When to Visit
Performances run primarily during the evening across the theater season. The lobby and entrance areas become crowded right before the curtain rises. For viewing and photographing the facade without crowds, daytime hours are best.
