Classical Movements is pleased to announce that our 2020 Prague Summer Nights: Young Artists Music Festival (June 15-July 13) will feature fully-staged, professionally-directed productions of two of Mozart’s most beloved operas—both Don Giovanni and Le nozze di Figaro—at the historic Estates Theatre featuring the famous Josef Svoboda sets, as well as professional costumes from the Czech National Opera.

Don Giovanni debuted at Prague’s Stavovské Divadlo on Monday, October 29, 1787, the only theater still standing where Mozart, himself, conducted.
