Immoral. Unrepentant. Sexy. Many have tried to pin down Mozart’s darkest and most dazzling of creations. Now it is the turn of Elke Neidhardt who, along with Jennie Tate and the set and lighting design team who created South Australia’s Ring Cycle, turns her critical eye to the case of the rampaging libertine. Will she find him a murdering rapist or a revolutionary?

Whatever the answer, the clues lie in Mozart’s music, which somehow seems to encompass all humanity. From the testosterone-fuelled ‘Champagne Aria’ to the touching ‘La ci darem la mano’, from the ominous opening of the overture through to the beautifully crafted ensembles, he captures the emotions with amazing acuity, using the simplest of melodies to reveal profound truths.

The Don is making a swift exit from his latest lover when her enraged father stops him. A duel, a fatal blow and what might have been a mere stumbling block on the road to the next conquest becomes the catalyst for Don Giovanni’s final, blazing fate.

Making his Australian debut in the title role is Hungarian Gabor Bretz, in demand in Europe for his magnificently dark-hued voice, and to conduct we welcome Mikhail Agrest, the dynamic protégé of Valery Gergiev. Joshua Bloom makes his role debut as Leporello, Rachelle Durkin plays Donna Anna and Catherine Carby makes her debut as the feisty Donna Elvira

Performed in Italian with surtitles.
