Opera DON GIOVANNI
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

DON GIOVANNI • Feb-16 2021 | Teatro San Carlo, Napoli
A music trip to Naples can be a wonderful combination. The city offers excellent culinary attractions and a cityscape that is best explored on foot with a private guide. You are constantly reminded of the volcano that spilled over Pompeii almost 2,000 years ago. Today this is a worthwhile destination. And then Amalfi invites to a long day trip or a connecting stay. Also Capri, Ischia and the Aeolian Islands. You could easily spend months there.
But the highlight of your musical journey is the visit to the Teatro San Carlo to a performance of your choice.

Don Giovanni is the second Italian opera of a trilogy that Mozart composed in Vienna with Lorenzo Da Ponte’s librettos. It was first performed in Prague, in October, 1787 where the revival of The Marriage of Figaro already enjoyed a great triumph. Apparently, Casanova, on whose romantic adventures the plot was loosely based, was present. All of the elements deriving from the old commedia dell’arte are present in its perfect dramatic structure. We find the serious characters (the nobles Donna Anna and Don Ottavio, the Commendatore’s ghost), the comical or low ones (Leporello the servant, Zerlina the peasant and her husband Masetto) and the more realistic roles of Don Giovanni and his true antagonist Donna Elvira. However, it is in the depiction of the tragic figure of the ‘Burlador de Sevilla’ that Mozart’s work finds its true dimension. It is in the figure of the great seducer, eternally condemned to meaningless serial conquests – punctually recorded in a catalogue by his funny counterpart, Leporello – that Don Giovanni continues to acquire the universal value of a masterpiece that fascinated Mozart and Da Ponte and before them playwrights such as Tirso, Molière and Goldoni or philosophers such as Kierkgaard or Starobinsky. A masterpiece that still bewitches theater audiences all over the world. After the enormous success of Così fan tutte, Riccardo Muti comes back to Teatro San Carlo once again, following the trilogy backwards, under the stage direction of Chiara Muti in a new production of Mozart’s masterpiece.
