Don Giovanni - Vienna Opera Summer Festival 2024

In Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's "Don Giovanni", we experience one particular day of the notorious debaucher, whose amorous adventures unsettle the whole of Europe. But his nefarious actions soon lead to dark consequences after he seduces the daughter of a morality-guarding Commendatore and subsequently kills him in a duel.
While Don Giovanni, with his faithful companion Leporello, continues to pursue his desires without a care in the world, a web of vengefulness and helplessness forms around him. In a series of fateful encounters and mistaken identities, he is finally confronted with his own moral decline, with the ghost of the Commendatore always breathing down his neck. The story culminates in a dramatic finale in which Don Giovanni, with his ultimate indifference, confronts the Commendatore in petrified form and thus faces death.
THROUGH ITS CAPTIVATING TALE OF LOVE, SEDUCTION AND THE STRUGGLE BETWEEN MORALITY AND FREEDOM, "DON GIOVANNI" RAISES ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE. IS HE GOING TAKE OTHERS ALONG IN HIS DOWNFALL TO HELL?
* VIP tickets include a meet & greet with artists and the artistic director incl. champagne reception & finger food.
