Don Giovanni, often regarded as Mozart’s masterpiece, shocked audiences with its daring portrayal of a defiant man who refuses to repent, leading to his dramatic downfall. This opera’s exploration of moral conflict left a lasting impression on both critics and audiences alike.JOIN US FOR THE Q&A After the performance, audience members will have the chance to engage with the performers in an informal Q&A session, where you can learn more about their hidden talents, quirky interests, and, perhaps, get a taste of Mozart’s famed irreverence.
