Svoboda's Theatre-in-theatre: Figure 11: Don Giovanni (Prague). Still another arrangement of the onstage boxes, a different backdrop, and a fence that functions both realistically and conventionally in several scenes of the production. Figure 9: Don Giovanni (Prague). The boxes at the left and right of the photograph are part of the eighteenth-century theatre in Prague in which the production is performed; the rest of the boxes were specially built for the production and are situated on the stage itself, an extension of the historic auditorium. (Svoboda pencilled on the back of this photo: "This captures the idea exactly. ") Figure 10: Don Giovanni (Prague). A different arrangement of the special onstage boxes deliberately revealing a period backdrop to heighten the production's sense of theatricality. (photo: Jaromir Svobod
