Georgia Mann presents Mozart's Don Giovanni recorded this summer at the Teatro Regio, Turin starring Carlos 脕lvarez, Erika Grimaldi & Mirco Palazzi. Daniele Rustioni conducts.

After the enormous success of The Marriage of Figaro, one of the managers of Prague鈥檚 Nostitz Theatre commissioned Mozart for another work. He wanted to work with the librettist Da Ponte again who, captivated by the story of Don Juan, was happy to oblige. The action follows the adventures of the roguish, womanising Giovanni, mixing comedy, tragedy and drama with the supernatural as his acts of betrayal and even murder finally catch up with him.
