Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - the White Hat guide

 

 

Some forthcoming Australian concerts and performances featuring the music of Mozart:

Don Giovanni

Don Giovanni

Book tickets for Don Giovanni
at the Sydney Opera House

Opera Australia present's Mozart's opera Don Giovanni in their new 2008 production. Immoral. Unrepentant. Sexy. Many have tried to pin down Mozart's darkest and most dazzling of creations. Now it is the turn of Elke Neidhardt who, along with Jennie Tate and the set and lighting design team who created South Australia's Ring Cycle, turns her critical eye to the case of the rampaging libertine. Making his Australian debut in the title role is Hungarian Gabor Bretz, in demand in Europe for his magnificently dark-hued voice, and to conduct we welcome Mikhail Agrest, the dynamic protégé of Valery Gergiev. Joshua Bloom makes his role debut as Leporello, Rachelle Durkin plays Donna Anna and Catherine Carby makes her debut as the feisty Donna Elvira. Performed in Italian with English surtitles.
