Don Giovanni

Description

The second play of the trilogy signed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Lorenzo Da Ponte (of which Le nozze di Figaro and Così fan tutte are part of), the story of Don Giovanni sink his shave in seventeenth-century European literature: to give birth to the burlador de Sevilla was the Spanish Tirso de Molina, then followed by many theatre authors, as Molière and Goldoni.
The debut of the mozartian opera, on October 1787 in Prague, set off an out-and-out triumph for composer and librettist. Mozart and Da Ponte were able to transform the story of a licentious and impertinent libertine, noble only for birth, into an absolute musical and playwright masterpiece, rich in the narrative situation and musical moments of great heterogeneity. It seems that at Prague’s première there was the, by then more than sixty-year-old Giacomo Casanova.
This extraordinary level production sees the direction of Mario Martone, resumed by Raffaele Di Florio, while on the podium will step the debuting Riccardo Bisatti.
