DON GIOVANNI

Peter Mattei, one of the most acclaimed Don Giovannis of our time, stars in a new production by Tony Award–winning director Ivo van Hove

Tony Award–winning director Ivo van Hove’s new production of Mozart’s DON GIOVANNI marks Met debuts for both van Hove and Maestro Nathalie Stutzmann, who leads the star-studded cast that includes baritone Peter Mattei, considered one of today’s great Don Giovanni interpreters, alongside the Leporello of bass-baritone Adam Plachetka. Sopranos Federica Lombardi, Ana María Martínez, and Ying Fang portray Giovanni’s conquests—Donna Anna, Donna Elvira, and Zerlina—with tenor Ben Bliss as Don Ottavio, bass-baritone Alfred Walker as Masetto, and bass-baritone Alexander Tsymbalyuk as the Commendatore. 

Van Hove’s production sets the familiar tale of deceit and damnation in an abstract architectural landscape that shines a light into the work’s dark corners.
