Mozart's take on the character of Don Juan.

"Mozart’s ultimate bad boy meets his match in Anna Netrebko, the opera world’s “hottest female star.” Don Giovanni LIVE stars Peter Mattei as the philandering Don, with Bryn Terfel as his sidekick Leporello, and the velvety voiced Ms. Netrebko as the much-abused Donna Anna. This audience favorite, for both its surprisingly modern plot and soaring melodies, is [sic was] broadcast LIVE from opening night at La Scala, with Daniel Barenboim at the podium."

CAST: Anna Netrebko, Bryn Terfel, Peter Mattei

La Scala Orchestra & Chorus conducted by Daniel Barenboim.

Tickets: $15.00, $13 for Galaxy members. Sung in Italian with English subtitles. 3h15m including one intermission.
