Mozart: Don Giovanni

Erwin Schrott (Don Giovanni); Malin Byström (Donna Anna); Roberto Tagliavini (Leporello); Petros Magoulas (The Commendatore); Daniel Behle (Don Ottavio); Myrtò Papatanasiu (Donna Elvira); Louise Alder (Zerlina); Leon Košavić (Masetto); Josephine Arden (Donna Elvira's Maid)

Kasper Holten’s 2014 production of Don Giovanni for the Royal Opera offers a glimpse inside the mind of one of opera’s most notorious seducers. With a spectacular revolving set by award-winning designer Es Devlin, ingenious video projections by Luke Halls, and an ‘ideal cast on world beating form’ (The Independent), this staging brings Mozart’s dazzling score to life, in all its wit, glamour, and darkness.

“…A stunning evening… with Roberto Tagliavini’s Leporello and Erwin Schrott’s Giovanni we get a definitive pairing.” (The Independent ****)

"...this is one of the most musically magnificent productions of this work I’ve ever seen." (The Independent ★★★★)

"The Royal Opera’s Mozart staging is even better this time around... Erwin Schrott’s magnificently sung assumption of the title role is one asset... Malin Bystrom is superbly credible and vocally majestic... The show is conducted solidly and sometimes stolidly by Hartmut Haenchen." (The Times ★★★★)

"Erwin Schrott delivers as the would-be seducer..." (The Arts Desk)

"Daniel Behle (as Don Ottavio, Donna Anna's fiancé) and Leon Košavić (as Zerlina's husband, Masetto) are both convincing in their strong singing as well as good acting, while the always reliable Brindley Sherratt brings great authority to the role of the Commendatore..." (The Express ★★★★)

"An unforgettable performance by Erwin Schrott" (The Stage ★★★★)

"Holten's Don is a fine fellow out for a good time, with Erwin Schrott every inch stripped to the waist and ready to give the girls what 'they desire'...Myrtò Papatanasiu's Donna Elvira tugs at the heart...Louise Alder is a bouncy Zerlina and her Masetto, Leon Košavić, suitably sulky." (BBC Music Magazine ★★★)

"Louise Alder's forthright Zerlina provides clean tone and winning personality, and Roberto Tagliavini's Leporello bounces his lines off Schrott's Don with vitality - they make a good double act." (Opera Now)
