The Royal London Opera House presents a live transmission of Mozart’s third collaboration with librettist Lorenzo da Ponte (The Marriage of Figaro, Cosi fan tutte). Mozart’s darkest opera centers on the charismatic serial-seducer, Don Giovanni (Roberto Tagliavini). But when Don Giovanni commits murder, he unleashes a power beyond his control. Haunted by the ghost of the murdered man, he decides to invite him to dinner.. A new take on a masterpiece, that combines glorious music with a central character who is endlessly fascinating in his flawed humanity.

“This is a Don Giovanni that is never boring, often thrilling, and demands to be seen.” Keith McDonnell, , What’s On Stage.
