Estate theatre (Stavovske divadlo) in Prague is one of the most beautiful theatres in Europe built in Classicist style and since its foundation it has stayed practically unchanged. It can be proud of the fact that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
introduced here his opera Don Giovanni for the first time. This great event is commemorated by a memorial plaque.
