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. Mozart and Da Ponte’s opera is a work of Shakespearean multivalence, blending comedy and tragedy, “high” and “low”, giving rise to philosophical contemplations while at the same time affording entertainment replete with excitement and humour. Libretto: Lorenzo da Ponte Conductor: John Nardolillo Directors: Sherrill Milnes, Maria Zouves Music preparation: John Nardolillo, Sherrill Milnes, Maria Zouves, Scott Rednour, Justina Lee, Jelena Nosková Stage: Josef Svoboda Costumes: Theodor Pištěk The opera will be sung in its original Italian, with English and Czech supertitles projected above the stage. The duration is 3 hours 5 minutes with one intermission.

Performance is part of The Prague Summer Nights Young Artists Music Festival.
