Antonín Dvořák lived in many parts of Prague’s Old and New Towns. It was here that he married, had his children baptised, played in the orchestra of the Provisional Theatre and conducted the first concert of the Czech Philharmonic at the Rudolfinum. Dvořák’s life was interwoven with Prague in countless personal and artistic ways. American musicologist David Beveridge will serve as a knowledgeable guide as we follow Dvořák’s footsteps through Prague.
