"The twists of tragedy meet the turns of comedy."

Mozart dances us on the thrilling edge between humor and horror. You're tempted to smile at the exploits of Don Giovanni and his thousands of amorous conquests. But his raging ego turns charisma into corruption when he kills a father who is defending his daughter from clutches of the lecherous Don. And for that there must be retribution!

Based on the sensual paintings of Goya, the sets conjure up a time and place where the forces of good and evil wrestle to a Mozartian standoff.

Sung in Italian with projected English translations.
