In Vienna during the last ten years of his life Mozart was at last able to turn his fuller attention to the composition of Opera. After he had won success in 1786 with Le nozze di Figaro on which he had collaborated with the Italian librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte, he and Da Ponte were commissioned to provide a new opera for the following winter season in Prague - this turned out as Don Giovanni. "Don Giovanni" was presented for the first time in Prague, because Mozart, satisfied with the manner in which Bondini's troupe had sung his "Marriage of Figaro" a little more than a year before, he agreed to write another work for the same house. In Prague Mozart had allowed ten days for rehearsals of the opera. This proved far too short and the work was finally staged in the Nostic theatre Prague 29th October 1787 - too late for the celebration of the marriage of Archduchess Maria Theresa and Prince Clemens of Saxony for which the commission had been intended.

Did Mozart write Haydn?

Beethoven and Haydn certainly did, Haydn taught Beethoven. Between Beethoven and Mozart the picture is less certain, they may have met in Vienna in 1787, and some people think that Beethoven may even have had a few lessons from Mozart. However the records are not clear or contemporaneous. Mozart and Hayden were great friends.
