I think I would like to live in the 1780s and take piano lessons from Mozart. Or at least be well-off enough to subscribe to his public piano concerto performances.

Edit: As others have mentioned, those times would have been scary from a point of view of medicine; lots of people (including Mozart himself) were dying of diseases that are now easily cured by a 2-week prescription of penicillin. Women were considered inferior and subserviant. Wars over land and religion were commonplace and touched everyone. Internal combustion was not yet discovered, nor was electricity. There are pros & cons to all of these things. It would sure stink to go back in time to 1780, only to be killed by some bacteria of the day in the first two weeks.
