24 August to 6 November 1787
During 1787 Mozart was largely preoccupied with composing his new opera Don
Giovanni. The libretto was again written by Lorenzo da Ponte, and was based
on the legend of Don Juan. On 1 October Mozart travelled again to Prague to
conduct the premiere. After several delays the opera was finally performed on
the 29th and was a "triumphant success", according to Mozart in
a letter to his sister. Mozart conducted four performances.
