Mozart's Don Giovanni

Mozart's Don Giovanni from the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, starring Luca Micheletti in the title role. Presented by Flora Willson, with guest Timothy Jones.

Kaspar Holten's memorable production of Don Giovanni returns to the Royal Opera House with a brand new cast. Luca Micheletti takes on the role of the iconic operatic bad boy, who already has 2,065 female conquests and is after more. But will his plans be thwarted by the ghost of the man he kills? Maria Bengtsson, Paula Murrihy and Christina Gansch play the trio of women who get drawn into his net, and Christopher Maltman sings his unlucky sidekick, Leporello. Constantin Trinks conducts from the fortepiano.

Presented by Flora Willson, with guest Timothy Jones.
