On the "Rio Don-Giovanni-Day", 20 September 2021, a concert is dedicated to the works of Sigismund Neukomm composed in and for Brazil. The programme also includes a composition by the Brazilian composer José Maurício Nunes Garcia (Rio 17671858), highly esteemed by Neukomm and occasionally described as "the Brazilian Mozart". He conducted the first performance of Mozart's Requiem with Neukomm's "Libera me" in the Igreja Nossa Senhora do Parto on 19 December 1819. The concert is a cooperation of Don Juan Archiv Wien with partners in Austria, Portugal, and Brazil: the Mozarteum University Salzburg, Divino Sospiro Centro de Estudos Musicais Setecentistas de Portugal, and Musica Brasilis. Accordingly, the music will be performed in four locations: Vienna, Salzburg, Queluz/Lisbon, and Rio de Janeiro. While the partnering institutions' concerts with commentaries are recorded especially for this occasion, the performances in Vienna will be broadcast live.

Reinhard Eisendle arbeitet am Don Juan Archiv Wien über die Geschichte des Theaters vom 17. bis zum 19. Jahrhundert: im Besonderen über das Vehältnis von Theater, Politik und Diplomatie, die Figur des Don Juan auf der internationalen Bühne sowie die Inszenierung des Serails im europäischen Theater. Er ist Mitherausgeber der Reihen "Don Juan Studies" und "Diplomatica", zweier neugegründeter Publikationsserien des Don Juan Archivs Wien. Eisendle kuratierte auch etliche kultur- und theatergeschichtliche Ausstellungen, unter anderem die Ausstellungen "Salieri sulle tracce di Mozart" 2004 im Mailänder Palazzo Reale anlässlich der Wiedereröffnung des Teatro alla Scala sowie "Mozart. Experiment Aufklärung" 2006 in der Albertina Wien. Als Dramaturg, vornehmlich des zeitgenössichen Theaters, ist Eisendle auch der theatralen Praxis verbunden - so erstellte er eine dramatische Fassung von Ash Erdogans Roman "Das Haus aus Stein", welche unter dem Titel "Nicht einmal das Schweigen" im November 2019 in Graz uraufgeführt wurde.
