Don Giovanni
- W. A. Mozart |
For one decade already, the cultural life in Prague
has traditionally been culminating with the stagione of Opera Mozart at
The Estates Theatre.
Do not miss
the most famous opera of all time, in the excellent performance
multiplied by an impressive stage, original costumes and top international
cast. Only Prague can offer you this opera of all operas at the authentic
theatre where the grat Maestro personaly conducted its world
premiere. |

The Magic Flaute
- W. A. Mozart |
Is the Magic flute a remarkable fairy-tale with comic
elements, a folk comedy or an encoded work, full of freemason symbols? Is
it merely a story of love overcoming all obstacles, or a piece motivating
the viewer to attempt achieving perfection? . The work contains all these
planes and because of this it remains a challenge for all
producers.
Mozart. s last opera, a fairy-tale singspiel from
1791 to the libretto of E. Schikaneder is a true masterpiece. The magical
fairy-tale story is a multi-layered play full of fantasy, humour, but also
philosophy.

Le Nozze di Figaro
- W. A. Mozart |
|
It is now difficult to decipher in the libretto of the
marriage of Figaro the reasons why it was once considered controversial.
It lampooned human frailties and failings which even the nobility
understandably found irresistible. Today, however, we laugh at its
comical, almost slapstick situations, humorous resolutions of plots and
gratifying masquerade situations; and we do not have the slightest fear
that the shrewd Figaro will not protect his sweet Suzanne from the horrors
of the count. The enormous success of the marriage of Figaro on its
premiere in Prague in 1786 was the reason why Mozart wrote his largest
work, Don Giovanni, directly for Prague. |

Carmen
- Georges Bizet |
|
The ever
vivid and tragically dramatic Carmen has enchanted opera viewers worldwide
for over 125 years by its Spanish colour and psychologically true raw
story and of course the melodically ingenious music of G. Bizet. Prosper
Merime. s novel about passionate love and great jealousy became famous
mainly thanks to this renowned opera. It is the story of the beautiful and
carefree Carmen, whose flighty life ends by the hand of a spurned lover.
The fascinating character of Carmen and Bizet. s music is always
inspiring. |
