Don Giovanni by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

The Da Ponte Opera Festival celebrates the works of Lorenzo Da Ponte, bringing to the city of Vittorio Veneto a cultural and artistic event of international standing.

This year, the Festival features two masterclasses for opera singers from around the world and the staging of a new production of Mozart’s Don Giovanni.

At the heart of the Festival lies a constant commitment to creating and fostering opportunities for emerging artists, both from the local area and from across the globe.

Don Giovanni

A Dramma Giocoso in two acts
Libretto by Lorenzo Da Ponte

Don Giovanni, a reckless nobleman and unrepentant seducer, spends his final day on earth—a day marked by his conquests and power games over his servant Leporello and the women and men who cross his path.
But will he find redemption before it’s too late?
