  • An Opera at the Estates

    The Estates Theater was built in 1783 and Mozart opened Don Giovanni here. Paganni, Clara Schumann and Wagner all performed here as well.
    As soon as tickets were available I bought box seats for the Barber of Sevilla as there was no performance for Don Giovanni in May.

    The theater is so wonderful, preserved nearly original.
    I don't know what I paid for the tickets but there are seats up in the nose bleed section if you can't buy the ones close up.
    It is worth the price!! I came back to Prague primarily to attend a concert here.

Now I've been to the Middle East and our own Mesa Verde so ancient is …
