DON GIOVANNI at Baxter Theatre Centre

Don Giovanni has inspired obsessive admiration ever since it was created – Flaubert believed that, along with Hamlet and the sea, it was one of “the three finest things God ever made” – and the greatest singers of every generation long to put their stamp on its memorable characters. Yet Mozart had a young cast in mind when he penned the opera, and Don Giovanni springs off the page with a visceral authenticity when performed by energetic twenty-somethings.
