DON GIOVANNI by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
For his second collaboration with Da Ponte, Mozart was to mark the history of opera with this Don Giovanni who conquers and subdues women one by one, with the bestiality and coldness of the predator who preys on him. Power is at the heart of Ivo van Hove's theatre. For this lover of Shakespeare, the stage is the place where contradictory forces must coexist, even if it means plunging the spectator into doubt by depriving him of his reassuring certainties. Here the director tackles the myth of the seducer that has haunted European culture for centuries.
