Don Giovanni seduces and deceives women without conscience. But when one of his conquests leads to the murder of the girl’s father, a sinister force is unleashed from beyond the grave. Don Giovanni’s years of cruelty and debauchery catch up with him and he finds himself facing death head on.

Mozart and his librettist cover the spectrum from terror to humour in a totally absorbing story that asks compelling questions about sex, seduction, the pursuit of individual freedom and the right to defy societal norms.

Staged by French-American director Talia Stern, with designs by Allegra Bernacchioni. The Opera UCT cast and chorus, joined by the CPO, are conducted by Peggy Wu and Jeremy Silver.
