About the venue

Žofín Palace is a Neo-Renaissance building from 1885 on Slovanský ostrov (Slavonic Island) in the Vltava, protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic. It was named after Archduchess Sophie, mother of Emperor Franz Joseph I. The palace hosts concerts, balls, congresses and social events. Historically, Smetana's Má vlast received its first complete performance here in 1882, and Dvořák, Berlioz, Liszt, Tchaikovsky and Wagner all performed in its halls.
