ABOUT PERFORMANCE

The Prague Summer Nights Young Artists Music Festival presents a fully-staged production of Mozart's Don Giovanni under the stage direction of Joshua Major and under the music directorship of John Nardolillo.

The opera Don Giovanni, the Estates Theatre and the long-standing Mozart tradition are among the greatest glories of Prague’s rich musical history.

The Estates Theatre is globally unique as the one and only preserved and still functional venue where a world premiere of a Mozart opera took place with the composer himself conducting. The world premiere of Don Giovanni on 29 October 1787 was a tremendous success and from Prague the new opera set out on its journey to global acclaim and admiration.
