festival include world-class ballet performances and classical music concerts.
These events are usually held at the National Theatre, the Estates Theatre, the Prague Rudolfinum, the Dvorak Hall and the Prague State Opera. Famous acts include the Hradistan Dulcimer band and the Bambini Di Praga. Musical performances usually include renditions of pieces by Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Strauss, Lehar, Puccini and Verdi among others.
