This villa has an advantage over the Antonin Dvorak Museum, in that the composer it commemorates actually stayed here. Mozart enjoyed Prague, visiting the city several times, and after his death Prague's music lovers honored him with a memorial concert—whilst he was being buried in a pauper's grave in Vienna. A fire in the 1870s seriously damaged the villa, and what remain are a number of instruments, scores, posters and the like—all connected to the great composer himself. Included, is a piano the composer is said to have played while in town in 1787 - the year in which 'Don Giovanni' had its first-ever performance—in Prague's Stavovske Theatre. Regular concerts are given here.
