Western Classical Opera
Opera Baltimore presents a fully-staged production of Mozart's Don Giovanni with a live orchestra as part of their 2026–2027 season, which centers on desire and its consequences. The production frames the titular character as a charismatic libertine who believes the rules do not apply to him, treating every room as his own while leaving a trail of burned relationships in his wake. The staging emphasizes the psychological and social tension of the narrative, building the drama like a simmering conflict that finally erupts into a public reckoning. The artistic vision highlights the sharp, fast, and dangerously fun qualities of Mozart's score, contrasting the protagonist's weaponized charisma with the sudden, dark turn into the supernatural when consequences finally arrive.
