DON GIOVANNI
17-19 MAY 2019
An opera in two acts with music composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Don Giovanni is based on the legends of Don Juan, the infamous Spanish womanizer. Affluent and attractive, he sweet talks his way into the beds of countless women. Leporello, Giovanni’s servant, keeps record of his master’s encounters. Don Giovanni killed the father of a noble woman which brings him into the curse of the living and bound by death in hell.
