The National Theatre

Also in Prague, the National Theatre completed in 1881. The inner and outer design was completed by M. Ales, F. Zenisek, V. Hynais and J.V Myslbek. The inside was redone in 1883 after a major fire. The Theatre sits on the Vltava river. The building plays host to Czech's finest ballet and operas. I really liked renaissance buildings and this is a neon-renaissance building. I think how it is so lit up really plays a part in how it's viewed. I'm sure it's also beautiful during the day, but if it's night time and you see this huge amazing building it just has a powerful feel to it. Also I'm a big fan of statues and columns and things like that.
