there will be hell to pay!
The infamous adventures of the scandal-courting libertine Don Giovanni have been recreated and beloved ever since the two act opera premiered in Prague in 1787. Revered as a classic of the western operatic tradition, Mozart's iconic opera buffa masterfully blends comedy, melodrama and the supernatural with the some of composer's best known works, from the Catalogue Aria detailing all 2065 of Giovanni's disgruntled lovers to the dramatic crescendo of the breathtaking finale.
