Three journeys with longer stays brought Mozart to Prague: During the first stay at the beginning of 1787 he conducted personally his opera "Wedding of the Figaro" , which has been played the first time in Prague by Pasquale Bardini. During the second stay at the end of 1787, the première of the "Don Giovanni" is carried out in the Estate Theatre. Mozart composed the overture for this opera the night before. Musicians got the music at the very last moment before the première, which Mozart directed himself. His third stay in 1791 was the highlight. On the occasion of the coronation celebration of Leopold II. Mozart completed the coronation opera "La clemenza di Tito" in the Villa Bertramka of the couple Duschek. He personally conducted this opera on September 6th, 1791 himself, after the himself has been accompanying the coronation with the Coronation Mass No. 14 or the Piccolomini-Mass in the Cathedral of St. Vitus.

The Coronation Mass is a remarkable composition with symphonic elements and a high noblesse.
