Don Giovanni, Opera Bastille, Paris: 1 February-11 March 2022

Described by Richard Wagner as the opera of operas, Don Giovanni is without question one of the greatest masterpieces of lyric art. Rarely have we felt such vital energy in Mozart, such a tragic sweep that gives the whole work the sense of a breathless, dark and desperate race to the abyss. Under the musical direction of Bertrand de Billy, Christian Van Horn plays the title role in the revival of Ivo Von Hove's theatrically powerful production.
