"This magnificent theatre building from 1783 was built in the classical style and is still preserved in nearly original condition. The theatre’s history is inseparable from the musical talent of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart — in particular with the world premiere of his opera Don Giovanni, which is still included in the repertoire. The Estates Theatre is part of the National Theatre, and is the scene for drama, opera and ballet." - https://lnkd.in/dXCTwJbp
"Estates Theatre, New Sound System
At the Estates Theater, we designed and later installed new power sound systems, including the cable distribution and cable infrastructure.
- We replaced the original static sound system placed in the boxes with movable loudspeakers suspended on winding point directly in the stage portal. As a result, the user has greater variability for the needs of individual performances.
- We designed the sound system so that its installation is as sensitive as possible to the interior of the theater.
- The design was based on simulations on a 3D acoustic model and we chose the LCR configuration supplemented with a subbass loudspeaker for even coverage of the auditorium with the acoustic signal.
- All of the elements used were custom made by a manufacturer so that their color exactly matched the color of the stage canopy.

"The building was realized in a Classicist style according to a project of architect Antonín Haffenecker, and together with the theatre in Leoven in Styria it is the only building in Europe preserved in nearly original state. The main front with a pair of pillars and high, half-round vaulted windows were probably realized in French Classicism.

Modern reconstruction took place in the years 1973—1974, and the last general reconstruction in 1983—1991 according to a project of architect Ivan Skála and Svatopluk Zeman. The original foundations of the building were reinforced, the enclosure walls were strengthened, the paintings on the auditorium and forestage ceilings were restored; the balcony parapets revealed surprising decorations made of paper-mache, used probably due to its light weight, as the auditorium’s enclosure walls are mostly made of wood and also the dome supporting the ceiling is made of wood.
It was recommended not to replace any materials in order to preserve the excellent acoustics. A copy of the original chandelier from 1874 was made and installed, which was partially powered by gas. There are 148 light bulbs on the new chandelier, which weighs approx. 800 kg. After the reconstruction, there are 659 seating places and 20—40 standing places available in the Estates Theatre." - https://lnkd.in/dXCTwJbp
