Don Giovanni Mozart

When a seduction goes wrong and lust leads to murder, Don Giovanni finds himself caught in a high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse, as both his sins and his purs...

Mariame Clément directs a new production of Don Giovanni, Mozart’s darkest comedy for Festival 2023.

Don Giovanni is on stage 19 May – 15 July 2023. Public booking opens on Sunday 5 March at 6.00pm: https://www.glyndebourne.com/events/d...

In a post-Me Too world can we still allow ourselves to fall under the spell of art's legendary seducer? Mariame Clément believes passionately in a work that she believes still has plenty to say to today's audiences, confident that she can find an approach that comprises neither the work itself nor her own feminist convictions. 

Rising opera director Isabelle Kettle is less convinced, still struggling to find a way into a work whose music may be timeless but whose politics and morality seem increasingly like an uncomfortable anachronism. 

In our new short film, the two of them join opera expert Alexandra Coghlan to talk about how a director can preserve the anarchic spirit and provocations of the piece, without betraying the values of a new age.

Womanising aristocrat Don Giovanni lives a life of debauchery and pleasure, seducing and abandoning women wherever he goes. But when a seduction goes horribly wrong, he finally finds himself in a situation he cannot charm his way out of.

The Don Juan legend takes breathless and exhilarating form in Mozart’s tragicomedy – a work ETA Hoffmann once called ‘The opera of all operas’. Shakespearean in its breadth of emotion, Don Giovanni slips from laughter and physical farce to brutal psychodrama in a second, a dramatic whirlpool whose inexorable tug pulls both its hero and audience down further and further towards its explosive conclusion. A score of singular power drives the action forwards, seducing its listeners with serenades and love-songs, richly layered ensembles and intricate finales. At the centre of its all is the Don himself, a musical cipher as charismatic as he is unknowable.

Mariame Clément directs Glyndebourne’s first new Don Giovanni in over a decade. Rising-star conductor Evan Rogister makes his Festival debut.

A new production for Festival 2023. Sung in Italian with English supertitles.
