    “Don Giovanni”, the story of a man whose life of sin and debauchery leads to a tragic end, stars Simon Keenlyside as the dubious title character and Hibla Gerzmava as the vengeful Donna Anna. Malin Byrstrom returns to The Met as the lovesick Donna Elvira alongside Paul Appleby as Donna Anna’s fiancé. The cast is led by the Met’s Principal Conductor Fabio Luisi.
    “A winning cast sparks joy in ‘Don Giovanni’ revival at the Met …a delightful performance that reminded us of the genius of Mozart’s music that could bring revelation and excitement in the hands of professionals.” – Bachtrack
    “Don Giovanni” debuted in the Met’s first season in 1883 and has remained a popular production since. While it can be seen as either comical or tragic depending upon the cast and director interpretations, it remains a favorite among Mozart fans.
