Full Description
The Baroque Church of St. Nicholas was built by the father-and-son architects Christoph and Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer between 1732 and 1737. The church has been called the most beautiful building of the Czech Baroque. The magnificent interior is dominated by a ceiling fresco over the nave by J. L. Kracker featuring scenes from the life of St. Nicholas, which is one of the biggest in Europe. The complexity of the arrangement of the interior, along with the interesting lighting scheme, is one of the most impressive church interiors in Prague.
Throughout the one-hour performance, you'll enjoy a number of classical works composed by European musical virtuosos including G. F. Handel, Johann Sebastian Bach; Antonio Vivaldi, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and others. You'll also have the opportunity to listen to several pieces by classical Czech musicians such as Antonín Dvořák, one of the country's most well-renowned composers.
You can choose between the orchestral, organ, chamber or choir compositions. The program changes on a day to day basis.
