Don Juan, the epitome of the seducer, inspired Mozart to one of his most influential operas –
frivolous, witty and profound all at once. In his version of Don Giovanni, director Herbert
Fritsch »abandons the formal, virtuoso arrangement of nonsense« and »thereby gives the
audience freedom of interpretation« [FAZ]. In doing so, he draws on the core of Don Juan
and brings him to new life as a malicious harlequin – a loser, audacious, side-splittingly funny
and irresistible all at once, framed by the delicate, utterly dark pinnacle of Mozartean music.
A »fascinating and intelligent interpretation removed from all platitudes« [klassik.com].
Performance in German, with subtitles in English, German, French, Turkish.
Tickets 12-85€.
