Nelze toto místo minout. Pod plachetkou se před Stavovským divadlem skrývá osoba, která má co dělat s Donem Giovannimu, víme? W. A. Mozart tu opravdu byl, nyní se tu hraje repertoár dosti jiný, že? A jakožto druhá scéna Národního divadla, jsou herci možná pyšní, že na jejich místě kdysi sedával třeba Hugo Haas. Pro turistu se tu stále hraje ten Mozart, ale i jiné kusy. Kde jsou ty časy, co tu hrála Andula Sedláčková? To už si nepamatuje nikdo, a nikdo to také nezmiňuje: takže to tady zmiňují. Ale jsou i pamětníci, jako já, co si ještě pamatujeme hrát třeba Josefa Kemra nebo Martina Růžka. Těm se ještě tleskalo, jenom když vstoupili na scénu. Stavovské divadlo je vedle Karolina Univerzita Karlova, tudíž tu můžete potkat i vyparáděné rodiče, co se přišli ukázat na promoci jejich dítek. Ale to už je trochu jiné divadlo hned vedle. Na to současné je třeba zajít do Stavovského, snad to má ještě dnes cenu...

This is "Il Commendatore," a striking bronze sculpture by Czech artist Anna Chromy, located outside the Estates Theatre in Prague's Old Town. Symbolism: The faceless, cloaked figure symbolizes the character of the Commander from Mozart's opera "Don Giovanni," which premiered at the Estates Theatre. Artist and Creation: Anna Chromy created this sculpture in 1993. Location: It stands prominently outside the historic Estates Theatre, where Mozart's "Don Giovanni" first debuted in 1787. Alternative Name: The sculpture is also known as "Cloak of Conscience".

ראינו את דון ג'ובני של מוצרט. אחד המבנים היפים והמרכזיים במרכז פראג יפה מאוד גם מבחוץ. מבפנים מרגישים שזה אולם עתיק מבחינת העיצוב והתכנון, זה מאוד יפה, מיוחד וקצת קטן ואינטימי. כמובן האטרקציה של לראות את דון ג'ובני בתיאטרון שבו הוא הוצג לראשונה לפני כ- 250 שנה בניצוח של מוצרט עצמו. הורדתי כוכב אחד כי הראות מהכיסאות ביציע העליון בעיקר בצד הייתה גרועה במיוחד אפילו בשביל המיקום הזול הזה. מומלץ להשקיע קצת יותר בכרטיס ביניים (כשהזמנתי לא היו כאלו זמינים). בנוסף ההפקה הייתה סבירה מבחינת נגינה ושירה אבל שמרנית קצת אנכרוניסטית מבחינת הבימוי. אולי מחווה לאיך שהעלו את דון ג'ובני בעבר. סה"כ מומלץ
