The story
Mozart and Da Ponte’s Don Giovanni follows the legendary libertine in Seville, whose crimes, including the murder of the Commendatore and serial seduction, set off a spiral of revenge, betrayal, and moral reckoning . His daring escapades are shadowed by his servant Leporello’s cynical wit, yet nothing saves him when a supernatural statue brings divine judgment. In Ivo van Hove’s chilling modern staging, concrete towers and haunting projections magnify Giovanni’s arrogance, turning a night of decadence into a terrifying descent.
