Dramma giocoso in two acts Music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Libretto by Lorenzo Da Ponte.Don Giovanni is one of those ageless masterpieces that give rise to endless secret meanings and troubling intuitions. The eponymous hero is such a complex and symbolic character that he could but fascinate Mozart as he today fascinates stage directors. Achim Freyer, who directed this production for the Opéra de Rennes, has transcended this fascination to offer us a magnificently crystalline reading with the purest of lines of this total masterpiece. A lesson in staging performed by a first-class cast.
