Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Composer and Lorenzo Da Ponte, Librettist: Don Giovanni (DG) ● ● Don Giovanni is truly the stuff of opera: love, lust, murder! This fully staged two-act performance, entirely in English and in the intimate setting of the Larsen Center, gives the audience a unique opportunity to experience the story of Mozart and Da Ponte’s Don Giovanni, a comic reimagining of the famous libertine, Don Juan. The superb musical storytelling carries the audience through the lives of several complex characters – sometimes mocking them, sometimes sighing with them, sometimes crying with them, sometimes laughing at them – but always beautifully.
Cascadia Chamber Opera is excited to present the Cascadia Chamber Opera Festival 2023 in Astoria, Oregon from August 20th through September 3rd, 2023.
