Don Giovanni

OPERA

Scottish Opera Mozart’s

Thu 16 - Sat 18 June 2022 Thu & Sat 7:15pm, Fri 3pm*

Sung in Italian with English supertitles.

Don Giovanni is one of the world’s most performed and beloved operas for good reason. Sir Thomas Allen directs this compelling production of Mozart’s masterpiece. Dark, atmospheric and bursting with life, this is full-blooded opera at its best.

Be transported to the backstreets of 17th century Venice, hunting ground of the amorous Don Giovanni - a mercurial rogue who flits from irresistible charm to brute violence in a heartbeat and who is about to suffer the ultimate reckoning.
