Experience Mozart’s music in Prague through an elegant dinner and concert in a historic ballroom. For just under $115, you’ll enjoy 2.5 hours of live opera arias, duets, and chamber music while savoring a three-course Czech and Austrian meal. The event is held at the Grand Hotel Bohemia, a beautifully restored venue in Old Town, offering a charming setting that transports you back in time.
What we love about this experience is the chance to combine culture with a gourmet dinner in a grand space — it’s a perfect way to spend an evening in Prague. The performers, two singers and five musicians from Czech opera houses, deliver a polished and lively performance that captures the spirit of Mozart’s operas like The Magic Flute and Don Giovanni. Plus, the option to upgrade to a cozy table for two makes it especially appealing for couples looking for a romantic night out.
A possible consideration is that the meal design might not satisfy everyone’s taste buds — some reviews mention the food being good but not extraordinary, and the timing means dinner is served during intermissions, which can extend the evening. Also, drinks are extra, so if you’re looking for an all-inclusive experience, be prepared to purchase beverages separately.
This concert and dinner are ideal for lovers of classical music, couples seeking a romantic evening, or visitors wanting to enjoy Prague’s ambiance without leaving the city center. It’s especially suited for those who appreciate historical settings and are interested in a well-rounded cultural experience.

The show is divided into three parts, each lasting around 20 minutes, with interludes of live performances by two singers and a chamber ensemble of five musicians.

The three-course menu includes a standard beef dish with baked potatoes and green beans, but vegetarian options like vegan curry in coconut sauce with crispy vegetables are available if pre-ordered. Other alternatives include fish or chicken, provided you order 48 hours in advance. The menu is straightforward but flavorful, and some reviewers find the food “delicious” and “superb,” while others suggest it’s slightly average for the price — a reminder that the main draw here remains the music and atmosphere.

Drinks are not included in the ticket price, but a great-value drinks package can be purchased.

The venue’s accessibility near public transportation and its dress code — smart casual — are also appreciated.
What Could Be Better?
Some guests feel that the menu options could be expanded or that the meal timing during intermissions might lead to a longer evening than expected. A few mention that the venue is a bit tricky to find — located in the basement of the hotel, so ask for directions.
