San Diego Opera: Don Giovanni
Mozart’s Don Giovanni starring Germán Enrique Alcántara in his house debut as the titular villain places the singers, chorus, and San Diego Symphony front and center for these performances. The singers will be costumed under stage lights, for a complete visual and auditory experience as the action onstage, supported by projections, paints a haunting portrait of temptation and its consequences. Pompous, lustful, and accustomed to getting away with anything and everything, Don Giovanni is the ultimate villain. As Giovanni stalks his latest conquest his past sins catch up to him from beyond the grave and he must face judgment for years of cruelty and lechery. These performances also feature tenor Alexander McKissick as Don Ottavio, baritone Ethan Vincent as Leporello, and soprano Ashley Fabian as Zerlina, all in Company debuts. They are joined by returning singers soprano Tasha Koontz, and mezzo-soprano Megan Moore, led by San Diego Opera’s Principal Conductor Yves Abel.
