Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - the White Hat guide
 |
Don Giovanni
|
|
|
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.
