[04 SEP 2004 - 10 SEP 2004] Part of my September 2004 "3 in 3 Trip".

![Albert Tanone > [Day 2] Statue outside of Estates Theatre commemorating the premiere of Mozart's "Don Giovanni".
This is the only theatre still in existence where a Mozard opera had premiered. "Don Giovanni" premiered in this very theatre some 300 years ago or so and today continues to be performed here.
(Thanks to the concierge I was able to snatch a ticket for the opening performance of the season the night I arrived.)](http://altanone.smugmug.com/Travel/Czech-Republic/Prague-2004/DSCF0094/44441544_cBbhs-Ti.jpg "Albert Tanone > [Day 2] Statue outside of Estates Theatre commemorating the premiere of Mozart's \"Don Giovanni\".

![Albert Tanone > [Day 2] Wenceslas Square.
Not exactly a square, is it? More like a green oblong/rectangular parks set in the middle of a huge road.](http://altanone.smugmug.com/Travel/Czech-Republic/Prague-2004/DSCF0096/44441638_medpM-Ti.jpg "Albert Tanone > [Day 2] Wenceslas Square.

![Albert Tanone > [Day 2] THE CLOCK
I expected the face of the clock to open up and for the apostles to go around in circles on top of it.
Turned out all that happened was the two windows up top (see the two blue window covers?) open and each of the apostle parade in front of it at the top of the hour.
All in all, lasted about 10-15 seconds but the crowd watching is so huge that it was quite comical.](http://altanone.smugmug.com/Travel/Czech-Republic/Prague-2004/DSCF0092/44441514_bWKTd-Ti.jpg "Albert Tanone > [Day 2] THE CLOCK
