About the Production Don Giovanni:

This popular work by Mozart relates a glorious love story involving the charming and unparalleled playboy, Don Giovanni, as well as his shocking end. This dramatic and fast-paced opera is based on the legend of Don Juan, a legendary charmer who seduces a young woman, kills her father and is taken to hell by the father’s ghost, which appears in the form of a stone statue. The story is accompanied by the devilishly charming protagonist, his endearing servant Leporello and a number of beautiful arias sung by the leading female roles, climaxing in a breathtaking confrontation with the stone statue and the final descent into hell. This production by Grischa Asagaroff is set in Venice, with the lead role based on real-life 18th-century charmer, Casanova.

Conducted by Norichika Iimori, with talented Mozart performer Vito Priante in the title role and star soprano Irina Lungu appearing in the role of Donna Anna. This production also features an impressive collection of young Italian stars, including Daniel Giulianini as Leporello, Sara Cortolezzis as Donna Elvira and Dave Monaco as Don Ottavio.
