Don't you hate it when you go to something you're super excited about seeing and getting pictures of and then you find it..... covered in scaffolding? Bummer. But hey, I suppose a building from the 1700's deserves a little restoration and TLC now and then ;)
The Estates Theatre is most famous for its tie to Wolf gang Amadeus Mozart. It was here that the premier performance of Don Giovanni was performed and he was there to conduct it himself, in 1787. It is still performed there on a regular basis. Unfortunately, it was not performed there during the 3 nights we were there, but there are all kinds of performances played here. Walk across the street to the box office for a list of current performances and prices (which are very reasonable!).
Verdict: No. The theatre is beautiful and has amazing history and worth seeing if you happen to be in Prague. But, it is not something you have to see/do before you die UNLESS you happen to be a die hard Mozart fan. Well, then, of course you have to go!
