A birthday present to remember! My roommate got me five tickets (three free) to see Don Giovanni in the very theater Mozart premiered it in in 1787! She knew someone in the orchestra, so we even got to go backstage and see the orchestra pit. I got so exciting thinking that Mozart must have stood right over there! The opera was wonderful, lavishly done, and wonderfully sung and acted. The theater is gorgeous--an unusual greenish color on the outside and a beautiful royal blue and gold inside. It's tucked away behind some buildings, so it's maybe not so noticeable, but if you're walking from Vaclavske Namesti to Staromeske Namesti and keep your eyes turned to the right, you'll catch sight of it. I couldn't have asked for a better birthday present.
