The Estates Theatre
One of the oldest European theatres, operating continuously since 1783, The Estates Theatre or Stavovské divadlo was annexed to the National Theatre in 1948 and currently draws on three artistic ensembles, opera, ballet, and drama. The Estates Theatre is the only theater left standing that composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart performed in and continues a strong connection with Mozart to this day. The world premiere of his opera Don Giovanni was performed here in October 1787 and, in 1791, Mozart’s La Clemenza di Tito was staged in public for the first time in celebration of the coronation of Emperor Leopold II. The historic theatre was featured in the Academy Award-Winning film "Amadeus".
