Timing of Figaro, Axur, and Don Giovanni in Vienna
editThe Marriage of Figaro was first performed in Vienna on 1 May 1786. Axur was first performed in Vienna on 8 January 1788. Don Giovanni was first performed in Prague on 29 October 1787, but first performed in Vienna on 7 May 1788. The sentence on the film seems confusing to me. I have not checked the film to see how it is presented there. --Robert.Allen (talk) 05:07, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
- I checked the DVD. The problem appears to be that Leopold Mozart's death is presented as occurring after the premiere of Axur rather than before. This was apparently done so that the news of his father's death could immediately precede the excerpt from Don Giovanni, which is dramatically effective, if inaccurate. --Robert.Allen (talk) 06:16, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
