Considered one of the greatest operas of all time, Don Giovanni is one of three operas that Mozart wrote to libretti by Lorenzo DaPonte. West Bay Opera has only presented it 3 times in the last 67 years, in 1982, 2004 and 2012. Our last production, in May 2012, directed by the late David Cox and conducted by Maestro Michel Singher, was set in contemporary Brooklyn. The current production goes back to the original period in the 1600's.  The libretto is adapted from the play El burlador de Sevilla o el convidado de piedra, by Tirso de Molina. The Prague premiere was a resounding success. The following year, the work had its premiere in Vienna. For that occasion, Mozart wrote superb additional arias, including Ottavio's Dalla sua pace and Elvira's Mi tradi, both of which we offer in our present production. Don Giovanni is a challenge for any company, regardless of size. We present it virtually without cuts and with a stellar cast.

With its timeless, fast-paced wit and gripping dramatic force, Don Giovanni is a guaranteed great evening at the opera.
