PRIVATE PERFORMANCES
KLEMENTINUM MIRROR CHAPEL / Any location preferred by the client
The Mirror Chapel, also the Chapel of the Annunciation og Our Lady, is located in Prague's Klementinum in the Old Town. The chapel was built between 1722 and 1726 and to this day it is not reliably ascertained who is the author of the building design, whether František Maxmilián Kaňka or Kilián Ignác Dientzenhofer. The interior of the chapel is an example of the high baroque. The chapel was given its present name because of the unusually copious use of mirrors in its decoration, not only on the walls but also on the vault. In 2011, the chapel was reconstructed as part of the revitalization of the Klementinum. The chapel is used mainly as a concert hall.
