Operatic perfection ŕ la Mozart!

Don Juan's back and LA Opera's got him! The sexy and sensual Erwin Schrott returns as opera's greatest Lothario in the ravishing production that won LA Opera kudos in 2003. The Los Angeles Times commented: "The eye is startled, delighted, and sometimes enlightened by constant visual stimulation."

Mozart's great comic drama not only catalogs the Don's conquests (2,065 women, to be exact), but also deftly unfolds an intriguing series of escalating calamities that ensue as those he seduced and abandoned seek their revenge against him. And when the Don disdainfully invites a vengeful ghost to dinner, all hell breaks loose.
