Traditional Cultural Events 2012

With its theatres, galleries and a range of cultural events, the metropolis of West Bohemia can offer plenty of opportunities and unusual experiences for both art lovers and entertainment seekers all year round.

Alongside traditional theatre and music events represented by the productions of well established ensembles such as the J. K. Tyl Theatre, the Alfa Theatre or the Pilsen Philharmonic Orchestra, there are also performances of young and fledgling ensembles and bands. These often present across music genres. Their individual projects are all the more interesting and attractive especially with the young people in Pilsen.
