DON GIOVANNI is one of the timeless classics of all opera. Mozartâs music, and the words of his great collaborator Da Ponte, are brought to life in Francesca Zambelloâs engrossing production with its rich and colourful designs by Maria Bjornson. The music is memorable, dramatic and enjoyable: from the seductive solo voices of the famous âLa ci darem la manoâ to the fabulous ensemble as Don Giovanniâs infatuated conquests, vengeful victims and their outraged relatives join forces for justice. And retribution does finally come to Don Giovanni, a serial womanizer and a murderer, with the searing flames of Hell ready to engulf him. Simon Keenlyside heads the outstanding cast at the Covent Garden Royal Opera House, conducted by renowned Mozart expert Charles Mackerras.
