Opera on Location
Don Giovanni
Ashley Pearson, director
Known as Mozart’s darkest opera, Don Giovanni lives up to its reputation as a tale of murder, rape and revenge.
Don Giovanni exists in a world where he takes what he wants, when he wants, without regard for who he hurts along the way. With his power, position and considerable wealth, he intimidates and belittles those around him. Feeling untouchable, our opera begins as Don Giovanni commits the ultimate crime.
ALEX BURNS
“I was truly blown away by every part of this production and [it] is genuinely the best opera I have seen to date.”
REVIEWS HUB
“…offers a modern slant on the opera that brings out both elements of the dramma giocoso to great effect.”
“Pearson deliberately plays on the tennis-match tendency in the watchers, switching attention from one end of the stage to the other. Here both are playing shots at the same time, so the audience has to choose: you miss some action, but the sense of eavesdropping on events is exhilarating.”

“From beginning to end I was hooked on this unique production, and the way some of the themes of the opera were handled were second to none.”
