Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart DON GIOVANNI

Peter Mattei stars in the title role of the world’s most notorious lover in Ivo van Hove’s cinematic staging.

Tony Award–winning director Ivo van Hove makes a major Met debut with a new take on Mozart’s tragicomedy, re-setting the familiar tale of deceit and damnation in an abstract architectural landscape and shining a light into the dark corners of the story and its characters.
Maestro Nathalie Stutzmann makes her Met debut conducting a star-studded cast led by baritone Peter Mattei, considered one of today’s great Don Giovanni interpreters, alongside the Leporello of bass-baritone Adam Plachetka. Sopranos Federica Lombardi, Ana María Martínez, and Ying Fang make a superlative trio as Giovanni’s conquests – Donna Anna, Donna Elvira, and Zerlina – and tenor Ben Bliss is Don Ottavio.

“Magnificent! Impressive and perfectly cast … dramatically and musically affecting …a rich experience with real-world resonance.” (Financial Times)

“A splendid cast led by Stutzmann in an impressive Met debut makes Don Giovanni a must-see!” (Observer)
