KURIOS – Cabinet of Curiosities
I'm looking forward to the gravity-defying Cirque du Soleil performance later this summer. They'll be in Prague for a month and will have multiple shows on weekends.

British rock legend Robbie Williams is touring again and will be in Prague this Sunday. His reputation as a showman precedes him so the demand for tickets is high. As of time of writing, there are - just about - a few tickets left, so hurry!
Taipei's National Palace Museum has lent 100 precious items from its collection to the Czech National museum. Between ancient scrolls and jade carvings, the curators have put together an incredible viewpoint on the Qing dynasty. I've missed this so far, but since the loan runs out at the end of 2025, I'd best hurry!
Paul Taylor brings his wit and observations about life in France to the stage. While usually a bilingual act, his show in Prague will be in English.
Dan Brown will launch his new Robert Langdon book at Lucerna's grand hall next month. The book is set in Prague and Netflix has already greenlit production of a series based on the book.
Prague will host tours of the city's massive sewerage system for one day only! Tours are short - 20 minutes every half-hour - and you'll find out how Prague handles the massive volumes of rainwater and sewage.
Often described as the most influential comedian since Chaplin, Gervais brings his latest record-breaking tour, Mortality, to Prague next month. His brand of comedy is not for everyone, but the record numbers who see him live shows that "not for everyone" is still "thousands of people". Very few tickets left as of time of writing.
Scottish comedian Daniel Sloss returns to Prague later this year with his new show. If you like deadpan delivery and slow-burn setups in your comedy, this is the kind of show to go to.
Spanish opera legend Placido Domingo is set to wow audiences in Prague with selections from well-known operas. He will perform excerpts from Verdi to Puccini as well as many others in an 80-minute show in Prague's Rudolfinum. The cheap tickets were snapped up, making this a pricey, if one-of-a-kind, evening.
Jazz lovers are in for a treat. Two-time Grammy winner Diana Krall will be in Prague tomorrow evening bringing a great start to an autumnal weekend. Available tickets are reasonably priced for what it is.
I'm excited about Gunther von Hagens' Body Worlds exhibition; partially because I missed it when it was in Prague, and partially because I'm fascinated by the idea of plastination. The exhibition is as entertaining as it is educational, showing how the human body works and functions in an eye-popping way.
80's/90's Swedish pop group Roxette will bring their energy - and some nostalgia - to Prague this November. While it will be different after Marie's death, fans have reacted positively to Lena Philipsson's addition to the band.
