In this darkly comic take on the Don Juan legend, the lascivious Don Giovanni revels in wreaking havoc on countless hearts, while those he’s wronged emerge from his past to seek retribution. Swedish baritone Peter Mattei, now a fixture at the Metropolitan Opera and other celebrated opera houses around the world, made his U.S. debut in this production, thrilling audiences with his menacing portrayal of Mozart’s hell-bound libertine. Soprano Lauren Flanigan appears with Cincinnati Opera for the first time as Donna Anna, with soprano Christine Goerke, now one of the world’s reigning divas, as Donna Elvira.

Music by W.A. Mozart; libretto by Lorenzo da Ponte
