Mozart’s famous dramma giocoso – one of the darkest comedies ever written – is the story of the last 24 hours in the life of Don Juan. On this day in Seville at least 2 seductions go terribly wrong, one resulting in murder of a general, and the second in the most terrible party imaginable. A traumatised noblewoman, a truculent lady and a feisty peasant girl join forces to try to change the great seducer, but in the end it takes supernatural intervention to stop him.

From the first, fatal notes of the overture to the shocking final scene, Don Giovanni is one of the greatest operas ever written. In ETO’s new production by Jonathan Munby and Soutra Gilmour, Roland Wood (ETO’s Eugene Onegin) and Jonathan Gunthorpe play the rake and his long suffering servant, leading a cast of distinguished soloists. ETO Associate Conductor Michael Rosewell conducts the ETO Orchestra and Chorus.
