Mozart's Don Giovanni

From the Metropolitan Opera in New York, Mozart's Don Giovanni starring Ryan Speedo Green in the title role and Federica Lombardi as Donna Anna. Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts.

Mozart's witty and profound operatic setting of the the Spanish Don Juan legend follows the high jinx, seduction, and retribution of the licentious title character, performed here by the bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green in his Met debut in the role, as he commits murder, eludes an ex-lover, and comes face-to-face with the ghostly Commendatore over the course of a single day. Sopranos Federica Lombardi, Janai Brugger, and Hera Hyesang Park feature as Don Giovanni’s three conquests, while the bass Adam Plachentka takes on the role of the Don's comic sidekick, Leporello, accompanying him through a series of encounters that ends with the protagonist's descent into hell.

Presented by Debra Lew Harder with commentator Ira Siff.
