State Theater

Local name: Stavovské divadlo

State Theater in Prague is a professional theater built in classicist style. Inside the building are marble columns and pilasters. The lobby and the foyer were also marble. The ceiling was painted in geometric decor with grotesque motifs. The ancient curtain contains motifs from Greek mythology.

State Theater in Prague was built between 1781 and 1783. The authors of the project were Anton Haffenecker and Sebastian Künigel. State Theater is the only theater in the Czech Republic where Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart had the opportunity to tour. The ghost of the State Theater is reportedly wandering with a can to which he collects donations.

There was a doctor in Prague who collected human bones. He was most interested in deformed skeletons. He paid 300 golds for a medical student who was two meters tall to get his skeleton after death. The young man began a life-threatening life and was forced to die. Apparently for 300 gold pieces will be able to buy peace of mind.
