What is the opera Don Giovanni about?
The opera follows the infamous libertine Don Giovanni, a serial lothario who leaves a trail of broken hearts and shattered lives in his wake. Giovanni seduces, deceives, and defies the moral order - until supernatural justice descends. In this stark staging, the drama is transported to the modern day with inventive minimalism: encounters brim with psychological tension as characters wrestle with consequence, obsession and remorse while still allowing Mozart’s vivid score to cut through with clarity and intensity.
Don Giovanni was composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, with a libretto by Lorenzo Da Ponte. The opera premiered at the Estates Theatre in Prague on 29 October 1787, conducted by Mozart himself, and has since become one of the most enduring and influential works in the canon. This staging marked acclaimed director Ivo van Hove’s Met debut when it premiered in 2023, after an initial run at the Paris Opera, and returns as a major feature of the Met’s 2025–26 season - secure your tickets today.
