“Don Giovanni” in Prague
Wolgang Amadeus Mozart composed his opera “Don Giovanni” while staying at the Bertramka residence in Prague and the piece was first performed in the Estates Theatre in Prague on 29 October 1787. During our Easter visit to the city, Vee and I visited Bertramka for the first time – it is now a small museum – and later attended an excellent performance of “Don Giovanni” at the beautiful Estates Theatre.
The final sequence of the opera appeared in the film “Amadeus” as you can see here:

Before leaving Prague, we bought a CD with the highlights of “Don Giovanni”.
