Prague: Mozart Dinner Concert & 3-Course Ballroom Meal

Summary

Prague’s Boccaccio Ballroom hosts Mozart music and classic dinner

You’ll slip into Prague’s historic Boccaccio Ballroom for an evening of live Mozart performed by Czech opera musicians in costume. Enjoy a three-course dinner inspired by local recipes between concert sets—plus a welcome drink and plenty of small moments you won’t see coming. It’s equal parts music, history, and good food—leave room for dessert.

What’s the experience like?

We were already halfway through our welcome drink when the first notes floated out — not from a stage, but right there among the tables in the Boccaccio Ballroom. I’d seen photos of this place, but nothing really prepares you for all that gold leaf and those mirrors. Our local host, Jana, grinned as she pointed out the ceiling frescos (she said they’re protected, so no wild dancing). The room was buzzing — couples in smart jackets, a few families with older kids trying to look unimpressed but sneaking glances at the musicians tuning up in their old-fashioned coats. It smelled faintly like wood polish and something buttery from the kitchen.

The concert part came in three bursts, each about twenty minutes. In between, servers glided around with plates — I went for the beef bourguignon because Jana said it’s closest to what Mozart might’ve eaten on tour here (she told us he loved Prague more than Vienna, which made everyone laugh). The green beans were crisp, potatoes soft inside. My friend tried to order in Czech and got a patient smile from our waiter — “It’s okay, English is fine,” he said. The music itself? I’m not an opera person, but those arias just sort of hit you in the chest when you’re that close. At one point during “Là ci darem la mano,” I caught myself holding my breath.

I didn’t expect to feel so… involved? Maybe it was the way the singers looked right at us or how the violinist winked at a kid who dropped his fork mid-duet. There’s something about hearing Mozart in Prague that makes you think about all those centuries stacked up behind every note. By dessert (some layered thing with chocolate), people were lingering over their last sips, not really wanting it to end. I still think about that chandelier light catching on someone’s wine glass.
