Opera Atelier's Don Giovanni returns to Toronto in a glittering new period production designed by OA's award-winning design team of Gerard Gauci and Martha Mann. Mozart's outrageous comedy tells the tale of an incorrigible young playboy who blazes a path to his own destruction in a single day.
OA's production of Don Giovanni features Canadian baritone Phillip Addis (who created a sensation as the Count in OA's 2010 production of The Marriage of Figaro) as the incorrigible Don Giovanni. The production features soprano Carla Huhtanen (Zerlina), baritone Vasil Garvanliev (Leporello), soprano Peggy Kriha Dye (Donna Elvira), soprano Meghan Lindsay (Donna Anna), baritone Curtis Sullivan (Masetto/Commendatore), tenor Lawrence Wiliford (Don Ottavio) and the full corps of the Artists of Atelier Ballet.
Italian conductor Stefano Montanari makes his Opera Atelier debut conducting Tafelmusik Orchestra. Don Giovanni will be directed and choreographed by OA's Co-Artistic Directors Marshall Pynkoski and Jeannette Lajeunesse Zingg respectively.
