Prague, Part 3, Don Giovanni Marionette show

Don Giovanni Marionette Theatre

Mozart composed "The Opera of Operas" - Don Giovanni - especially for Prague and he personally conducted its world first performance in 1787 at the Prague Estates Theatre (Stavovské Theatre). It has been put on as the most successful puppets show since 1991. This was a neat experience. The puppets were much larger than we expected. (about 2 feet tall) There was a Mozart character which performed between set changes. It was hilarious! We both had a great time. As you can see in some pics, The revenge of the Japanese helmet-fro was upon us. His helmet is in the way most of the video/ pic... Sorry!
