17, 19, 23, 26, 31 of May, 07 of June

MUSIC BY Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

TEXT BY Lorenzo Da Ponte

The writer E.T.A. Hoffmann described Mozart’s »Don Giovanni« as »the opera of all operas«.  Since its world premiere in 1787 in Prague, the work has been highly celebrated on victory tours across Europe. Mozart drew on the full gamut of his musical genius – and his perfectly matched librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte succeeded in breathing new life into the well-known story through his retelling.
