Who is Don Giovanni?
He is charming, charismatic, attractive and irresistible. Take care however; he is also deceitful, dangerous, violent and cold-hearted. To date he has had 2065 amorous conquests. He has seduced and murdered his way around Europe, but Don Giovanni’s luck is about to run out. Don Giovanni is one of the greatest of all operatic villains, drawn with consummate skill and surrounded by a kaleidoscope of very human characters. The opera is as rich and complex as the Don himself – it is both chilling and beautiful, comic and dramatic with one of the most powerful finales in all opera.
