About the venue: Church of St. Nicholas

The Church of St Nicholas on Malostranské náměstí is the most famous Baroque church in Prague and has been a national cultural monument since 1995. The building took roughly a century to complete, with three generations of architects involved: Kryštof Dientzenhofer, Kilián Ignác Dientzenhofer and Anselmo Lurago. The dome spans 20 m in diameter and the interior height to the top of the lantern is nearly 57 m, the highest in Prague. Concerts on the historic 18th-century organ are held here year-round.
