(Mariusz Kwiecien in the title role)The fifth season of The Met Opera premiered exclusively at select Ster-Kinekor and Cinema Nouveau theatres recently, and if Anna Bolena, the first production of this breathtaking 11 part series, is anything to go by, audiences will be flocking to see Mozart’s highly acclaimed opera, Don Giovanni, releasing November 18, 2011.
“The enchanting opera, Anna Bolena, has had the public glued to the big screen and came out as one of the Top 10 Cinema Nouveau titles over the past weekend, which is testament to the appeal of opera to our local audiences.” says Raksha Singh of Ster-Kinekor Theatres. “We are excited about the release of Don Giovanni this month, and have no doubt this opera will be just as well received,”
The Met Principal Conductor, Fabio Luisi, conducts a new production of Mozart’s Don Giovanni, a classic opera of lust, heartbreak, and revenge, with Mariusz Kwiecien in his first Met performance of the iconic title role.
Tony award-winning Director, Michael Grandage, makes his Met debut with a new production that stars an international cast of acclaimed Mozart singers, including Marina Rebeka as Donna Anna, Mojca Erdmann as the innocent peasant girl Zerlina, Barbara Frittoli as the fiery Donna Elvira, Ramón Vargas as Don Ottavio, Luca Pisaroni as Giovanni’s manservant Leporello, Joshua Bloom as Masetto, and Štefan Kocán as the vengeful commendatore.
Don Giovanni can be seen at Cinema Nouveau (Gateway) and Ster-Kinekor (Shelly Beach). The running time is approximately four hours, including one intermission.
