Don Giovanni Mozart

Trailer zur Don Giovanni-Inszenierung am Opernhaus Zürich, Premiere am 26. Mai 2013. Inszenierung: Sebastian Baumgarten - Musikalische Leitung: Robin Ticciat...

Don Giovanni
Since the Spanish playwright and monk Tirso de Molina first staged the blasphemous acts and just punishment of the rampant libertine Don Juan in the 17th century, the view of the hero has changed a great deal. This is mainly due to the opera created by Lorenzo da Ponte and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, which is still regarded as the unequaled pinnacle of the genre: they make Don Giovanni a fascinating figure of erotic excess and libertine transgression. The great seducer fails because of the moral narrow-mindedness of the society into which he falls.

Director Sebastian Baumgarten made his debut at the Zurich Opera House in 2013 with his highly exciting and heatedly discussed production. The production is now being resumed under the musical direction of the Italian conductor Riccardo Minasi. Our new ensemble member Levente Molnár, who has already shone at important venues such as the New York Met and the Bavarian State Opera in Munich, can be heard as Don Giovanni. You can also look forward to his two Swiss colleagues Ruben Drole and Mauro Peter as Leporello and Don Ottavio respectively.

Don Giovanni
Seit der spanische Dramatiker und Mönch Tirso de Molina die gotteslästerlichen Taten und die gerechte Bestrafung des zügellosen Wüstlings Don Juan im 17. Jahrhundert erstmals auf die Bühne brachte, hat sich die Sicht auf den Helden sehr verändert. Das liegt vor allem an der Oper, die Lorenzo da Ponte und Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart schufen, die bis heute als unerreichtes Gipfelwerk der Gattung gilt: Bei ihnen wird Don Giovanni zu einer faszinierenden Figur der erotischen Ausschweifung und der libertinären Grenzüberschreitung. Der grosse Verführer scheitert an der moralischen Engstirnigkeit der Gesellschaft, in die er gerät.

Mit seiner hochspannenden und hitzig diskutierten Inszenierung debütierte der Regisseur Sebastian Baumgarten 2013 am Opernhaus Zürich. Nun wird die Produktion unter der musikalischen Leitung des italienischen Dirigenten Riccardo Minasi wiederaufgenommen. Als Don Giovanni ist unser neues Ensemble-Mitglied Levente Molnár zu erleben, der bereits an wichtigen Häusern wie der New Yorker Met und an der Bayerischen Staatsoper in München brillierte. Freuen darf man sich auch auf seine beiden Schweizer Kollegen Ruben Drole und Mauro Peter als Leporello beziehungsweise Don Ottavio.
