One of the masterpieces of the operatic repertory, Mozart’s Don Giovanni opens The Royal Opera’s new season in Francesca Zambello’s flamboyant and fiery production, first seen in 2002. Even by 1787, when Mozart and his librettist Lorenzo da Ponte wrote their drama Giocoso for the discriminating Prague public, the exploits of the notorious young Spanish nobleman with an insatiable appetite for women had been shocking and amusing audiences for hundreds of years.

Two exceptional casts are led by two expert Mozart conductors, Charles Mackerras and The Royal Opera’s Music Director Antonio Pappano. Polish baritone Mariusz Kwiecien, Mexican tenor Ramón Vargas, Italian bass Lorenzo Regazzo, American mezzo Joyce DiDonato, Italian soprano Patrizia Ciofi (a recent Covent Garden Gilda in Rigoletto), Swedish soprano Miah Persson (Susanna in The Royal Opera’s Le Nozze Di Figaro) and British soprano Emma Bell are all making their first appearance in this staging.

Sung in Italian with English surtitles.
