The Metropolitan Opera: Don Giovanni (2011)

Overview

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.
