A charming disaster of a man. A trail of people he has burned. A night when the consequences finally walk through the door.

Don Giovanni is the guy who treats every room like it belongs to him. He flirts, he lies, he takes what he wants, and he keeps moving before anyone can hold him accountable. His friend tries to clean up the mess. The people he has hurt are done being polite. The tension builds like a group text that has been simmering for months and finally turns into a public blowup.

Mozart’s Don Giovanni

A prophecy. A power grab. A couple who cannot stop once they start.

Macbeth is what happens when ambition stops being a private thought and becomes a plan. Macbeth hears a prediction that he could be king. He tells his wife. She hears it and goes all in. Together, they push past the line they swore they would never cross, and then they keep crossing new ones because backing down would mean admitting what they have done.

Verdi’s Macbeth

Engineers Club

A love story with no easy exit. A leader forced to choose between her heart and her survival.

Dido is a queen trying to hold a world together. Aeneas arrives and love shows up like a surprise you did not plan for. For a moment, it feels possible: a future, a partnership, a life that is not all duty. Then outside forces step in and twist the story. A message arrives. Aeneas believes it. He leaves. Dido is left with the kind of heartbreak that is also political, public, and final.
