Don Giovanni
Opera in two acts
Music : Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Libretto : Lorenzo Da Ponte
Production Director People’s Artist of Russia Yuri Alexandrov
“I believe that it is Don Juan that tests quality of an opera company. This opera has the whole range of voices: mezzo-soprano, lyric soprano, baritone, bass… There is an unwritten rule that if a theatre can perform Don Juan it can go ahead with any opera.
I’ve worked on Don Juan time and again as with a traditional task for a director. This performance is a completely different reading. Today what interests me most is not Don Juan himself but those who surround him and collisions he finds himself in because of them.”
