This stunning building is located not far from one end of Wenceslas Square. Built-in the late eighteenth century it now features opera, ballet, and theatre.

It commemorates Mozart’s premiere of Don Giovanni in 1787.…

Had English and Czech subtitles which helped but sometimes distracted from what was going on on stage. I wanted to watch the stage and watch the orchestra and so got a little lost with story. We were sometimes shocked by Mozart’s sexism/ racism but this was written a few centuries ago. Perhaps the script needs updating a little...?! All in all excellent artistry and great theatrics. …
