If you long to step back in time, head to the Ponrepo Bio Konvikt. The theater is housed in the historic Bio Konvikt, originally a medieval refectory that has a varied history; a history that includes the theater being one of the main cultural centers in Prague at the end of the 18th century well into the 19th century. The cultural center held concerts, balls and theater performances. During this time many great foreign musicians and composers performed at the Konvikt Hall including Beethoven and Wagner. In modern times Prague inhabitants started to frequent the theater as it was converted to a popular cinema. The theater has been completely renovated and presents its former beauty gracefully.
