The Italian opera company in Prague managed by Pasquale Bondini and
Domenico Guardasoni played a central role in promoting Mozart's
operas during the final years of his life. Using a wide range of
primary sources which include the superb collections of
eighteenth-century opera posters and concert programmes in Leipzig
and the Indice de' teatrali spettacoli, an almanac of Italian
singers and dancers, this study examines the annual schedules,
recruitment networks, casting policies and repertoire selections of
this important company. Ian Woodfield shows how Italian-language
performances of Figaro, Don Giovanni, Cosi fan tutte and La
clemenza di Tito flourished along the well-known cultural axis
linking Prague in Bohemia to Dresden and Leipzig in Saxony. The
important part played by concert performances of operatic arias in
the early reception of Mozart's works is also discussed and new
information is presented about the reception of Josepha Duschek and
Mozart in Leipzig.
