The success of Mozart's January–February 1787 trip to Prague led to a commission from the city's resident opera company.
The opera was commissioned after the success of Mozart's trip to Prague in January and February 1787. The success of Le nozze di Figaro led to a commission for an opera to be performed by the resident opera company of Prague; the work thus spawned was Don Giovanni, Mozart's second collaboration with the librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte.
