Estates Theatre: Don Giovanni in the Theatre Where It Premiered

The Estates Theatre, on Železná street, now belongs to the National Theatre. It is the theatre where Mozart conducted the premiere of Don Giovanni in 1787, and it is also the one that appears in the film Amadeus, which Miloš Forman shot in Prague (classic film locations). Seeing it with a performance is the most direct way in.
