The beginning of Mozart‘s world famous »dramma giocoso« is anything but light-hearted or jolly: Donna Anna’s father, the Commendatore, comes to her aid when Don Giovanni tries to seduce her, but is killed in a duel. Happy-go-lucky Don Giovanni is confronted with his own transitoriness, losing the light-heartedness he has practiced for years. Nothing is like it used to be. Donna Elvira, his wife, appears out of thin air, foiling another attempt at seduction. And he keeps being haunted by the murdered Commendatore’s ghost, who literally seems to hold a mirror up to him. Christof Loy places Mozart‘s opera in a baroque world, where terms like heaven, hell and God really meant something. Don Giovanni behaves like a blithe spirit who can’t be bothered with ethics or morals, whose anarchic lifestyle captivates, infects and changes the other characters forever.
