Karlin Musical Theatre is one of the oldest and most beautiful theatres in Prague, founded by the capital city of Prague.

This Nouveau Baroque building was constructed in 1881, had benches inside, was initially used as a circus, and was later adapted as a place for variety shows. After World War I, Karel Hašler extended the repertoire with cabaret, and in the 1920's different theater groups including Bratislava's National theater staged guest performances in this building. At the beginning of the thirties the Modern Opera was based here, although soon after the variety show was reinstated. It wasn't until the year 1932 that the original benches were removed and replaced by classical seats. During the German occupation, a group from the temporarily closed National Theatre (under the name Theatre For Now) acted here, and in 1944 the radio drama of Vinohrady Theatre was performed here as well.
