[Leica] IMG: "Don Giovanni" performed by marionettes

[Peter Klein]

No, I'm not kidding.  And it was great!

The National Marionette Theatre of the Czech Republic regularly performs 
Mozart's "Don Giovanni," conducted by a puppet of Mozart himself.  I had 
not planned on photographing it, and there was a pictorial sign that 
could have been interpreted as either "no cameras with flash," or "no 
cameras, period."  I noticed several people taking photos with their 
cellphones, despite another sign that seemed to say "no cellphones." But 
the ushers didn't stop them. So I figured, if they can, I can. So I 
discretely took pictures during the second act.  All I had was my 40mm 
equivalent lens, so I had to crop drastically, and someone's head 
obstructed a bit of my view on the right. I pressed the shutter button 
anyway.   Here's a few of the best shots.

Donna Elvira implores Don Giovanni to mend his lecherous ways. 
...Leporello has clearly heard it all before.

"I will find a better master," sings Leporello (on riser) with the rest 
of the cast.

Mozart wants to finish the Epilogue, but the custodian wants to wrap 
things up.
