Don Giovanni where it began, at the Estates Theatre in Prague
Seeing Don Giovanni at the Estates Theatre in Prague is a special occasion, for two reasons. Firstly, for the history: it’s the theatre where the opera was first performed, back in 1787.

Seating just 643, it’s an intimate space, in the classic horseshoe parterre-plus-boxes configuration.
