Mozart: Don Giovanni
Friday, August 6, 2010, 7pm
The Music Academy of the West Presents:
Mozart: Don Giovanni
George Manahan, conductor
Chas Rader-Shieber, director
Rapturously received at its 1787 premiere and hailed ever since as a perfect opera, Don Giovanni dramatizes the story of the legendary libertine Don Juan. Mozart’s powerful, deeply moving masterpiece features complex characterizations, a blend of comedy, drama, and the supernatural, and a score of unsurpassed beauty and eloquence. We welcome the return of maestro George Manahan, music director of the New York City Opera, and the boldly inventive Chas Rader-Shieber - the team behind our 2008 production of William Bolcom’s "A Wedding."
