Mozart composed "The Opera of Operas" Don Giovanni especially for Prague, where he personally conducted its world premiere in 1787 at the Estates Theatre (Stavovské Theatre). National Marionette Theatre presents this brilliant opera in a unique version of classical marionettes. The production celebrates Mozart's time and the atmosphere of this era in a form of authentic 18th century spectacle. Using tall marionettes, stylish period costumes and original stage effects. The performance is presented in original Italian libretto and lasts about two hours.
In July 1968, when the group "The Beatles" was on the top of their glory, an amazing animation film Yellow Submarine was released world-wide. This playful theatre version of a legendary film exploits elements of visual, marionette and black-light theatre. It will draw you into an imaginary world where music triumphs over evil and hate. Original visual effects and stage poetry are supported by original recordings of famous songs by The Beatles and instrumental pieces composed by George Martin, which guarantees the experience will be pleasant one. The performance lasts about 90 minutes.
