On October 4, Ekaterina Bakanova opens the 2025/26 season of the Teatro de la Maestranza in Seville, appearing as Donna Anna in a new production of Don Giovanni directed by Cecilia Ligorio and conducted by Iván López-Reynoso. She shares the stage with Alessio Arduini in the title role, David Menéndez as Leporello, Julie Boulianne as Donna Elvira, Marina Monzó as Zerlina, Marco Ciaponi as Don Ottavio, George Anguladze as the Commendatore, and Ricardo Seguel as Masetto. Further performances are scheduled for October 8 and 11.

Celebrated for her compelling portrayals of Mozart heroines, the Russian-born soprano has already earned wide acclaim as Donna Anna on major international stages. In 2015, she was honored with the “Best Debuting Singer” award at the Arena di Verona for this very role. Looking ahead, she will debut as the Contessa in Le nozze di Figaro at the Teatro Verdi in Trieste this November.
