Florida Grand Opera Don Giovanni

By Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Libretto by Lorenzo da Ponte

Don Giovanni is a serial seducer who answers to no one—not the women he ruins, the men who challenge him or even God. When he kills the father of his latest conquest in a duel, he simply moves on to his next target, brushing off guilt with a laugh. His servant Leporello keeps a running tally of his master's conquests while begging him to change his ways, but Giovanni is incapable of remorse. As betrayed lovers and grieving relatives surround him, Giovanni remains defiant—even mocking the dead. But when the murdered man's statue comes to life and offers him one final chance to repent, Giovanni refuses, and is dragged to hell as the others look on. Mozart's score swings from comedy to horror in an instant, asking an uncomfortable question: What happens when charm runs out and the bill finally comes due?


The opera will be sung in Italian with English- and Spanish-projected translations.
