By: A.A. Cristi
Charming nobleman. Serial womanizer. Sexual predator. Don Giovanni is all these and more. As the list of people out to get him grows longer, eventually his misdeeds catch up with him.
Don Giovanni leaves a trail of broken hearts, and worse, wherever he goes. He has his servant, the reluctant doormat Leporello, keep a journal of Don Giovanni's many conquests. Completely without morals or a conscience, Don Giovanni sexually assaults Donna Anna, then kills her father the Commendatore, who had tried to come to her defense. He seduces young Zerlina on her wedding day. But all actions have consequences, as Don Giovanni is soon to learn.
An irresistible classic, Mozart's Don Giovanni seamlessly combines comedy and tragedy with one of the great musical scores of all time to create one of the world's favorite operas.
Music Director Antony Walker conducts; Kristine McIntyre directs.
