Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Don Giovanni
Libretto by Lorenzo da Ponte
The seducer thwarted … Mozart’s incomparable ability to depict characters and situations is on full display, as Don Giovanni, a nobleman, seeks to add names to his ever-growing list of conquests. We’ll explore the music of noble and lower-class characters, the role of the orchestra, and Da Ponte’s elegant libretto, and we’ll consider director Stephen Barlow’s approach to the opera as well.
