OperaKino 26/27 - DON GIOVANNI from Vincenza 2025

Mozart's classic opera about the notorious seducer Don Giovanni comes to life in this production from Budapest. The work is a dramatic blend of comedy, tragedy, and supernatural retribution.

Don Giovanni lives without moral restraint – he deceives, seduces, and strikes with no remorse. After killing the Commendatore in a duel, he continues relentlessly with his conquests until the dead Commendatore's statue comes alive and demands revenge. Don Giovanni's absolute refusal to repent leads to his downfall as he is dragged down to hell.

Director Iván Fischer is renowned for his innovative opera productions that win strong audience favour. His Budapest production of Don Giovanni was sold out several months before its premiere, and Fischer presents the work with the same creative innovation and artistic boldness he brings to his orchestral work with the Budapest Festival Orchestra.
