On July 16, 1782, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart‘s opera was performed in the old Burgtheater in Vienna "The Abduction from the Seraglio" premiered.
The 26-year-old composer conducted himself. It was a great success. The portrait on the old postcard was also painted by the composer's brother-in-law Joseph Lange in 1782. The old Burgtheater was built in 1741 and destroyed in 1889.
