Music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Libretto by Lorenzo Da Ponte

Sung in Italian with projected English translations

Man behaving Badly.

Mozart’s riveting masterpiece follows Don Giovanni, a man who uses people without a care for their hearts, or the consequences. All the while, the Don’s servant Leporello records his master’s misdeeds. By killing the father of a woman he’s attacked, Giovanni sets in motion events that could lead to his end. Will he get away with his unrepentant pursuit of selfish desire? Or will there be hell to pay?

Meet the Composer

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Mozart is considered one of the greatest composers of all time and his operas are among his greatest works. His golden decade in Vienna (1781–91) was marked by his three-opera collaboration with the librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte: The Marriage of Figaro, Don Giovanni and Così fan tutte.
