Don Giovanni by W.A. Mozart

Greek National Opera – Yiannis Houvardas

11 & 13-15 June, 21:00 Odeon of Herodes Atticus

It is said the real Don Juan was a remorseless libertine who lived in the 14th century. Thanks to the Church, which threatened all those with a mind to follow in his footsteps with fires and brimstone, the myth of Don Juan spread far and wide and inspired a host of works. Mozart’s opera, based on a libretto by Da Ponte and inspired by the same ideals that would shortly lead to the French Revolution, sheds light on the profound philosophical and ethical dimensions of its subject-matter. Whatever questions we may bring to it, Don Giovanni can provide us with answers...
