A powerful man who uses his status to seduce women looks as topical as ever, but he has met his match in Donna Anna

The names scrawled across the set and the characters of Mozart's Don Giovanni in Kasper Holten's production are of the many women seduced by the insatiable aristocrat. Latest on the list is Donna Anna, whose father is stabbed as he comes to her aid. The Don is in trouble, and now the jilted Donna Elvira is back...


With its showstopping arias, dazzling ensemble pieces and twisting storyline, Don Giovanni is a power-packed night at the opera. Little wonder, then, that the Royal Opera House is reviving this spectacular production to launch its 2022/23 season.


In the title role is Italian baritone Luca Micheletti. His manservant Leporello is sung by British baritone Christopher Maltman.

There will be a lot of interest in the Royal Opera House of German-born conductor Christian Trinks, making his house debut, with a growing reputation for exciting work in the German repertoire.


Sir Antonio Pappano leaves the Royal Opera House as music director in 2024, when he takes over the London Symphony Orchestra from Sir Simon Rattle. Rattle is moving to Munich's Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, after the death last year of its conductor, Maris Janssons. As the great musical merry-go-round keeps turning, all eyes are on his likely successor.


Don Giovanni is sung in Italian with English surtitles. Performances are on 8, 13, 16, 19, 21 and 26 September
