With a concentrated cast and instrumental ensemble, The Merry Opera Company bring their own wit and style to Mozart's Don Giovanni.
Judgement Day for Don Giovanni, the world’s greatest lover. A supernatural comedy-thriller occurring in breakneck real time; beginning with murder, ending with a statue coming to dinner and a hellish sentence passed on the legendary seducer; the epic downfall of a man who always knows what we need, always makes us happy, but eventually realises he is out of time. Polarising audiences for centuries, startlingly modern yet a dinosaur, can Don Giovanni still make us love him as he hurtles through his final hours?
The 2020 Petersfield Musical Festival runs from 13 to 21 March, with an exciting programme of concerts, and a wide range of performers and music - including choral, orchestral, opera, solo instrumental, chamber music and a special screening of a Chaplin film, with live music accompaniment. We also celebrate 250 years since the birth of Ludwig van Beethoven.
