<p>Herbert Lachmayer, director of the Da Ponte Institute in Vienna, will be hosting an open house to discuss and answer questions regarding presentations on exhibit-making, featuring virtual exhibits from "Mozart: Experiment Aufklarung," a Da Ponte Institute exhibition for Vienna's Mozart Year 2006.

<p>The Da Ponte Institute was founded in 2000 by Herbert Lachmayer as an international research association with the aim of setting up an institutional framework structure for long-term projects. The institute's fields of research draw on essential aspects in the life of the man after whom it is named: in the biography of Lorenzo da Ponte the themes of libretto, Don Juan and collecting overlap and exert a reciprocal influence on one another. This thematic 'elective affinity' also characterises the central fields of research of the Da Ponte Institute: librettology, research on the Don Juan theme and the history of collecting. The focus of research is the opera of the 17th and 18th centuries and its cultural and socio-historical context. The Da Ponte Institute aims to generate new impulses as a research institution as well as a platform for cross-linking and as a partner for consultation in questions of artistic praxis.</p>
