The Metropolitan Opera: Don Giovanni

The Metropolitan Opera: Don Giovanni

NR 2011 · 175 min · Music

Imbuing the familiar Don Juan myth with a captivating combination of comedy, seductiveness, danger, and damnation, Mozart created an enduring masterpiece that has been a cornerstone of the repertory since its 1787 premiere. The opera offers a rare opportunity for two baritones to star alongside one another as the title Lothario and his faithful yet conflicted servant, Leporello, as well as three memorable female roles—multifaceted women who both suffer the Don’s abuses and plot their revenge.

Directed by Michael Grandage · Written by Lorenzo da Ponte
