In their second collaboration after LE NOZZE DI FIGARO Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Lorenzo da Ponte drew on the Spanish legend of Don Juan. Earlier popularity aside, the protagonist only attained the mythical dimensions of a heroic archetype in Mozart’s operatic version, which went on to inspire countless reimaginings of the material and philosophical readings by E. T. A. Hoffmann, Søren Kierkegaard et al. A raft of musical pieces from DON GIOVANNI, ranging from arias and the famous overture to duets, trios and ensembles, have seared themselves into our collective awareness.

Don Giovanni

Deutsche Oper Berlin

Große Gefühle und herrliche Melodien: Der italienischen Oper verdanken wir einige der unsterblichen Klassik-Hits aller Zeiten. Bei der „Italienischen Sommernacht“ im Brunnenhof der Münchner Residenz spielen sie die Hauptrolle: die schönsten Ouvertüren, Arien und Duette von Verdi, Puccini und Rossini. Dargeboten von hochkarätigen Solisten und den Münchner Symphonikern verheißen sie einen grandiosen Opernabend unter freiem Himmel – überschwänglich, melodienselig, mediterran. Fern aller Gedankenschwere, von der die musikalische Kultur nördlich der Alpen so oft geprägt ist, schwingt diese Musik harmonisch im Gleichklang mit jenem berühmten Lebensgefühl des „dolce vita“, für das Italien überall auf der Welt geliebt und beneidet wird. Viva Italia!
