Don Giovanni, by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Feb 1 – Mar 11, 2022
Place de la Bastille 75012 Paris

Don Giovanni has been haunting European culture for centuries, his cruel and manipulative ways undermining the social order. The avant-garde Belgian Ivo van Hove directs this production of Mozart’s celebrated opera, setting each scene around the dynamics of power, while the spare Brutalist architecture forces us to face the uncomfortable realities of love, pride, transgression, and betrayal. —Sonya Ribner
