Lyric Opera 2019-2020 Issue 6 Don Giovanni

Lyric Opera of Chicago | 16 Don Giovanni (Mariusz Kwiecien) meets Zerlina (Andriana Chuchman): Lyric production, 2014|15 season. Bereaved Donna Anna, frustrated Donna Elvira, vulnerable Zerlina – they all have issues with Don Giovanni. You know that he’s bad to the bone when he kills Donna Anna’s father, the Commendatore (who gets his revenge in the end). And yet...something makes such a charming monster irresistible. It’s complicated. Mozart and Da Ponte reveal the many facets of this troubling, complex character and all who surround him through some of the most magnificent operatic music and drama ever written. ´ Todd Rosenberg
