DON GIOVANNI, Oper
19. Mai bis 10. Juli 2018

As long as he lives and breathes, Don Giovanni will not stop chasing amorous adventures, even if his faithful servant Leporello has already cataloged hundreds of conquests. Donna Elvira is already a thing of the past, Donna Anna is surprised in her bedroom and Zerlina is even said to be seduced on her wedding day. But broken hearts, cuckolded husbands and dishonored fathers band together to send the seducer to hell once and for all.

Alongside Faust and Don Quijote, Don Juan is one of the most important figures in European cultural history: as a seducer and rapist, lover and murderer all in one, he became an attractive myth that was received a thousand times over in all forms of art and was redesigned again and again. As the archetype of the womanizer, he fascinates young and old of both sexes and is now a coveted dream and admired idol, now an unscrupulous egomaniac and a cruel demon. When Mozart and his librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte decided to adapt the well-known material, they were already able to build on a rich tradition. A large number of Don Juan operas had been written in the 1780s, which meant that audiences were particularly interested in this subject, but also offered the opportunity to interpret the prominent figure in a new and more complex way. Even the dramaturgy of the opera was remarkably innovative, insofar as it was conceived and executed as a comic opera, but begins with a murder and ends with Don Giovanni's not undramatic descent into hell. In addition, the complex title character in Mozart's and Da Ponte's arrangement offers ample possibilities for interpretation. Although the opera was not able to repeat the triumph of the Prague premiere on October 29, 1787 during Mozart's lifetime, today it is undisputedly one of the most important works in the repertoire. but begins with a murder and ends with Don Giovanni's not undramatic descent into hell.
