Help the theatre flourish

As we already informed you in one of our articles, National Theatre Brno is making culture in this city more accessible to foreigners by equipping some of their performances with English subtitles. Those of you who want to show your appreciation of this fact can do it by becoming friends of the theatre.

Helping the theatre will give you a lot of gratification. And don’t worry – you’ll be completely in charge when it comes to the options of your membership. You and only you will decide how much and in what frequency you contribute.

According to the theatre’s website, the future goal of this sponsorship programme is to create a committee that would be able to influence the programme of the theatre. What an exciting prospect!

Be an Edison – adopt a lightbulb

Mahen Theatre is the symbol of the first electrified theatre in Europe, so this is a big deal!

Adoption of one lightbulb costs 5 000 CZK. The total number of light bulbs is 242. By adopting one of them, you’ll be able to support the reconstruction of the original lighting of Mahen Theatre in the auditorium, foyer, and the Crystal Hall. You’ll be given a gift certificate to keep or gift to somebody else as a present.
