According to his not-so-little black book, Don Giovanni has seduced thousands of women across Europe. Over the course of a scandalous few days, his misadventures come back to literally haunt him as Mozart’s brilliant score whirls people in and out of the Don’s midst.
"Don Giovanni" has thrilled and scandalized audiences from its first note to its last for centuries. Don’t miss its return to Madison for the first time in 12 years!
