“Mozart to Gottfried von Jacquin, 4 November 1787, Prague Dearest, most beloved Friend, I hope you received my letter; – my opera Don Giovanni was staged on 29 Oct. and met with the most tremendous acclaim. – It was given yesterday for the 4th time – for my benefit; – I’m planning to leave here on the 12th or 13th; as soon as I’m back, you’ll have the aria1 straightaway; N. B. between ourselves;– I wish that my good friends – especially you and Bridi2 – could have been here for just one evening... to share in my pleasure! – But perhaps it’ll be performed in Vienna? – I hope so. – People here are doing everything possible to persuade me to remain here for another couple of months and write another opera. – But, however flattering their offer, I can’t accept it. – Now, my dearest friend, how are you? – I hope that you’re all as well and as healthy as we are; – you can’t fail to be happy, dearest friend, as you possess everything you could wish for at your age and in your situation!MoreLess
