From 1970 to 1981 she was engaged at the National Theatre in Prague. She debuted as Natasha in Prokofiev´s War and Peace.

She has been seen on many prominent stages around the world (Leonora in Beethoven´s Fidelio, Desdemona in Verdi´s Otello, Amelia in Verdi´s Masquerade Ball, Elisabeth z Valois in Verdi´s Don Carlos, Senta in Wagner´s Flying Dutchman, Ariadne in Strauss´s Ariadna on Naxos as well as other roles). In 1983, she returned to the National Theatre and sang Smetana´s Libusse here to the occasion of the reopening of the renovated theatre, her performances in the Czech republic have remained seldom; in 2001 she performed Emily Marty in Janáček´s Case Makropulos. Beňačková recorded the atelier version of Smetana´s opera The Barted Bride as Mařenka (1975), her voice was used also in the film version of Dvořák´s Rusalka (1977) and in the film about the soprano vocalist Ema Destinn The Divine Ema (1979).
