‘Don Giovanni’ in Vienna
On April 14, 16, and 19, Christopher Maltman will join the Vienna State Opera as Leporello in Mozart’s Don Giovanni. He made his highly acclaimed debut in this role at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden during the 2022-23 season.
In this production by Barrie Kosky, which premiered in 2021 in Vienna, the director delves into the darkness and torment within the characters’ souls, set against a backdrop of frozen lava rock. Maltman will share the stage with Andrzej Filończyk as Don Giovanni, Slávka Zámečníková as Donna Anna, Bogdan Volkov as Don Ottavio, Nicole Car as Donna Elvira, Isabel Signoret as Zerlina, Jusung Gabriel Park as Masetto, and Antonio di Matteo as the Commendatore. Bertrand de Billy conducts.
