MOZART’S DON GIOVANNI : OUTSIZED PASSION AND ITS CONSEQUENCES

On March 19, 22, 24, and 27, the Cleveland Orchestra will complete its three-year presentation of the great Mozart-Da Ponte operas. Don Giovanni is one of Mozart’s towering masterpieces, a work that probes the turbulent and troublesome depths of the human heart through music of breath-taking power and beauty. This potent combination led 19th Century thinkers to consider Don Giovanni an early epitome of the ideals of Romanticism. All are welcome for an evening of exploring one of Mozart’s great masterpieces!
