190 years ago, the folk comedy Fidlovačka premiered in the Estates Theater in Prague, in which Karel Strakatý sang for the first time what would become the Czech national anthem. What is the name of that song that went on to be the national anthem?
Where is my home. The song soon became popular and turned into a Czech patriotic anthem. Its first verse then became the Czech part of the Czechoslovak national anthem, followed by the first verse of the current Slovak anthem Nad Tatrou sa blýska. Since 1993, it has been the national anthem of Czechia.
