Don Giovanni/Requiem
Sun, 27. Apr 2025, 18:00

Don Giovanni knows what he wants, how to get it and how to throw an outrageously decadent party. Servant Leporello groans under the seductive arts of his master, as he has to pay for everything afterwards. When Don Giovanni murders the Commendatore in a duel for the honor of his daughter Donna Anna, Leporello has had enough. Don Giovanni likes to seduce, trick and gamble for his life, until he suddenly has to face death young and wild ...Sex, drugs and Viennese classical music - that was the motto of the congenial duo Mozart and Da Ponte. Similar to his hot-blooded opera hero, the young wild Mozart also met an early feverish death: he died at the age of 35 while working on his Requiem.

At the Schillertheater, Kirill Serebrennikov completes his Mozart-Da Ponte cycle with what is probably the most abysmal of the three comic operas. In his fearless approach to the masterpiece, Serebrennikov depicts the bon vivant's offbeat amusements as preparations for the afterlife and follows Don Giovanni's journey to hell with Mozart's requiem mass.
