Don Giovanni

Don GiovanniT366844074
Written shortly after The Marriage of Figaro. Based on the famous legend of Don Juan the master seducer from whom no woman can be considered safe. Don Giovanni pursues, seduces, rapes and murders and in the climax is pulled to hell by a stone statue of one of his victims come to life - he remains unrepentant. His servant Leporello witnesses all his masters wrongs. There is also a rarely performed opera of the same name (and story) by Giuseppe Gazzaniga which was first performed in 1786, eight months before Mozart's version.

Production details

The production radically reverses the gender of all the roles except that of the Don, who is here reinvented as a gay, debauched playboy and nightclub owner. Through this complex adaption, set in the heady world of the 1980s, the opera retains the sense of both the attraction and the fundamentally disruptive nature of unbridled sexual desire.
