Dramma giocoso by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Libretto by Lorenzo da Ponte German text version by Bettina Bartz and Werner Hintze
He was never the hero of this opera. The former ripper and charmer, who conquered every woman, no longer wants to succeed in Mozart's stage play. The myth of the irresistible Don Juan? Dismantled. Deconstructed. Exposed - by the woman he underestimated: Donna Anna. Her father - murdered. Her trust - abused. Her world - shattered. The title may still bear his name, but the story has long been hers. She plays herself into the center of the plot, seizes it, takes what is rightfully hers - and writes her version of this story. Who controls the game of power? Who is really pulling the strings? And above all, who is actually seducing whom?
Experience 90 minutes of opera as a psychologically condensed musical theater trip: intense, sonically concentrated, emotionally subjective. In this freshly pointed new version of Mozart's "Don Giovanni", there is no more room for legends - only for clarity, confrontation and the voice of a woman who makes herself heard. An experimental evening full of surprises and new perspectives.
