Fodor's Review:
Built in the 1780s in the classical style, this opulent, green palais was for many years a beacon of Czech-language culture in a city long dominated by German. It's best known for hosting the world premiere of Mozart's opera Don Giovanni in October 1787, with the composer himself conducting. Prague audiences were quick to acknowledge Mozart's genius: the opera was an instant hit here, though it flopped nearly everywhere else in Europe. Mozart wrote some of the opera's second act in Prague at the Villa Bertramka, where he was a frequent guest. You must attend a performance to see inside.
