Don Giovanni live in cinemas from Paris Opera

FRA Cinéma presents Mozart's masterpiece to end Paris Opera 18/19 cinema season with a flourish.

What is this flame that compels Don Giovanni to seduce, subjugate and conquer women one after the other, with the fervour and cold indifference of a predator securing his prey; to pursue through his conquests some obscure and ever‑elusive objective?

For his second collaboration with Da Ponte, Mozart was to brand the history of opera with a hot iron and forever haunt European culture. In this Libertine Punished, Kierkegaard invites us to hear “the whisperings of temptation, the whirlwind of seduction, the silence of the moment”.

Stage director Ivo Van Hove, accustomed to examining the political meaning of works, presents his second production for Paris Opera.
