Kasper Holten's staging explores seduction, violence, and reckoning in Mozart's opera.
Mozart's Don Giovanni follows the notorious libertine Don Giovanni, whose relentless pursuit of pleasure leaves a trail of betrayal, deception, and violence. After murdering the father of one of his victims, Giovanni continues his campaign of seduction and manipulation, refusing to acknowledge guilt or consequence. As his actions accumulate, those around him seek justice, culminating in a final confrontation that forces him to face the consequences of his behavior.
This production is directed by Kasper Holten, whose work includes productions for the Royal Opera House and the Royal Danish Opera. The staging features designs by Es Devlin, known for her work on opera, theatre, and large-scale concert productions.
