Don Giovanni

Helsinginkatu 58, 00260 Helsinki
Finnish National Opera and Ballet

Don Giovanni, the insatiable seducer, stops at nothing to satisfy his lustful desires.

Don Giovanni, the insatiable seducer, stops at nothing to satisfy his lustful desires. 

He sets his sights on everyone he encounters, from Elvira to her maid, to the bride at a country wedding. When he kills the father of one of his conquests, he sets off a chain of events that seals his tragic fate.

Don Giovanni by W. A. Mozart is one of the most brilliant operas in the world. Its timeless melodies combine the playful with the serious. The opera, which had its world premiere in 1787, tells the tale of an unrepentant seducer. Director Jussi Nikkilä’s interpretation presents the themes of addiction and power dynamics in a carnivalesque manner. This fast-paced production could only be performed twice after its 2020 premiere. Now the wait is finally over, and Don Giovanni can charm his audience. Pleasure, passion and humour are guaranteed.
