A familiar face at our favorite alpine festival, the great Gábor Takács-Nagy makes a welcome return to lead the Verbier Festival Chamber Orchestra and a lineup of exceptional vocalists—including Peter Mattei, Alexandros Stavrakakis, Magdalena Kožená, and Olga Peretyatko—in a live concert from the Salle des Combins at the 2022 Verbier Festival!

Don Giovanni, a favorite of opera lovers and Romantics alike, and the second grand opus by the Da Ponte-Mozart duo, transcends the conventions of opera buffa and reaches the dramatic heights of great tragedy. Music had never before been so true to life, so realistic, so serious; it had never so strikingly expressed the contrast between the sweetness of love and the horror of death. Perhaps Mozart's most impassioned and most daring masterpiece, the work recounts the story of Don Juan, libertine antihero par excellence, and his descent into hell, poignantly attuned to the foibles of human desire and human nature.

Strange case that this hero, Don Giovanni, who does not have any real grand air (unlike Don Ottavio and, above all, women), with the exception of a duet with Zerlina (Là ci darem la mano) whose immediate seduction inspired Beethoven and Chopin to perform pianistic variations very frequently given in our concert halls. Mozart made of his debauchery a character whose immoral extremism eclipsed all previous literary or musical attempts, with the possible exception of Molière's Don Juan. During its creation on October 29, 1787 under the direction of Mozart himself, Don Giovanni received a delirious reception from the Prague public and the score never left the stages of Europe, despite some allusive remarks on the extreme difficulty of execution. of the new opera. Without a doubt,
