Iván Fischer conducts Mozart's Don Giovanni

Take Mozart's darkest opera, add the artistry of Iván Fischer and the Budapest Festival Orchestra and combine them at the 2025 Vicenza Opera Festival.

Take Mozart's darkest opera, add the artistry of Iván Fischer and the Budapest Festival Orchestra and bring them all together in the breathtaking surroundings of Palladio's Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza. Those were the basic ingredients for this production of Don Giovanni at the 2025 Vicenza Opera Festival, but it's safe to say that the reality exceeded expectation. After a lifetime's engagement with Mozart, Iván Fischer has developed a very personal approach to stage direction; and with a cast that includes André Schuen in the title role and Maria Bengtsson as Donna Anna this is in every sense a landmark staging.
