Opera's bad boy gets his comeuppance

Touted as Opera's seductive playboy, Mozart's Don Giovanni is a man much more sinister. Consumed with selfishness and vengeance, his immorality leaves nothing but devastation behind him. Don't miss Opera Colorado's simmering production with Bruno Taddia as the doomed philanderer, with Danielle Pastin and Ellie Dehn as Donna Anna and Donna Elvira, the women he betrays, to his peril.

What is the story?

Accompanied by his long-suffering servant Leporello, infamous philanderer Don Giovanni is drawn into a whirlwind of lust and revenge of his own making when his promiscuous and arrogant actions meet their match. After wronging the likes of the feisty Donna Elvira, the innocent Donna Anna (whose father he kills in a duel) and the impressionable Zerlina, his day of reckoning approaches when the ghost of his victim seeks revenge. Considered one of the greatest operatic works in the world, Don Giovanni has a multitude of memorable musical moments including the imposing Overture, the Catalogue Aria, the Champagne Aria and the Dalla Sua Pace Aria.
