Ny humoristisk og grotesk forestilling om Don Juans oplevelser i operahelvede

Hvad skete der, efter Don Juan blev opslugt af helvedes flammer i Mozarts opera? Den danske komponist Simon Steen-Andersen følger i sit nye opera-projekt Don Juan på rejse gennem operaens underverden blandt fordømte og dæmoniske karakterer fra 400 års operahistorie.

Intet er helligt, når de pinte og plagede operakarakterer tages under (u)kærlig behandling af en skizofrent humørsyg operadjævel, der fører sig frem som både diktatorisk dirigent og operainstruktør.

Med udgangspunkt i slutscenen fra Mozarts Don Juan leger Simon Steen-Andersen med idéen om, hvad der egentlig blev af Don Juan efter den skæbnesvangre middag med kommandanten, som Don Juan har myrdet. Don Juan får for udåden en enkeltbillet direkte til helvede, og i denne musikalske collage møder han i operaens underverden andre forliste figurer, som er undsluppet fra værker af Puccini, Wagner, Verdi, Berlioz, Gounod og Monteverdi.

Den innovative komponist Simon Steen-Andersen er eftertrykkeligt brudt igennem det internationale musiklivs lydmur, og han har modtaget utallige hæderspriser gennem de seneste 15 år.

Steen-Andersen nedbryder i sit nye værk muren til helvede i et remix af tvistede opera-hits. Forvent en både humoristisk, grotesk, anderledes og provokerende forestilling, der inddrager video, performance og locations fra Gamle Scenes mørkeste kroge.

Don Juans inferno synges på flere sprog med danske overtekster.

A new, humorous and grotesque performance about Don Giovanni’s experiences in operatic hell

What happened after Don Giovanni was consumed by the flames of the inferno in Mozart’s opera? In his new opera project, Danish composer Simon Steen-Andersen follows in the footsteps of Don Giovanni on a journey through the underworld of opera among the doomed and demonic characters of 400 years of opera history. 

Nothing is sacred when distressed and tormented characters are lampooned by a schizophrenic, moody opera devil who fancies himself as both a despotic conductor and an opera director.

Based on the final act of Mozart’s Don Giovanni, Simon Steen-Andersen playfully queries the destiny of Don Giovanni following the fateful dinner with the commander whom Don Giovanni murdered. For his misdeeds, Don Giovanni was given a one-way ticket straight to hell, and in this musical fantasia he meets other doomed characters in the underworld of opera who have escaped from works by Puccini, Wagner, Verdi, Berlioz, Gounod and Monteverdi. 

An innovative composer, Simon Steen-Andersen has well and truly broken through the sound barriers of the international world of music and has received countless honorary awards over the past 15 years.

In his new opera, Simon Steen-Andersen gate-crashes hell with a twisted remix of opera’s greatest hits. Expect a quirky, grotesque, divergent and provocative performance that includes video, performance art and locations from the darkest corners of the Old Stage. 

Don Giovanni’s Inferno is performed in several languages with Danish supertitles.
