Don Giovanni by Mozart, 土 15 9月 2007, から (2007/2008), 監督 Helmut Polixa, 導体 Carlos Spierer, Stadttheater, Giessen, Germany

Don Giovanni is said to have seduced and left 2065 women, according to the register that his servant Leporello keeps meticulously about his master's art of love. The time is therefore more than ripe to present the insatiable with the receipt. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart does this for all dishonored women in this world, because in his DON GIOVANNI the eponymous hero bites his teeth out of the fair femininity - and that means the beginning of the end of the most famous womanizer of all times ... With murder and vows of revenge on the one hand and nocturnal clothes swapping and irrepressible gluttony on the other, Mozart skilfully blends tragic and comic moments. It is precisely this mixture that creates the special fascination that makes DON GIOVANNI - despite his 220 years - an absolute highlight of the operatic repertoire. “With a subtle hand, Helmut Polixa awakens memories of the tradition of the masterpiece rooted in the popular impromptu comedy Commedia dell'arte and emphasizes both the comic and the tragic. Above all, however, he focuses on Mozart's wonderful music.” Giessener Anzeiger
