I loved this statue when I saw it. It was outside of the Estates Theater in Prague where Mozart conducted the 1787 premier of Don Giovanni.
This figure represents the opera’s character Il Commendatore, who appears as a ghost.
The work was created by Czech-born, Austrian-raised artist Anna Chromy and is one of several “empty cloak” statues she has created. It was installed in 2000.
