Don Giovanni is notorious throughout Europe for his insatiable appetite for women. But his luck is running out. Mozart’s magnificent opera – one of several collaborations with the writer Lorenzo da Ponte – covers one whirlwind day, as Giovanni commits murder, flees a determined ex-lover and faces a supernatural visitor.  

The alternately witty and profound score is one of Mozart’s finest. Its highlights include heartfelt solos for the wronged female characters, knockabout scenes for Giovanni and his hapless servant Leporello, and the arrival of the ghostly Commendatore – one of the greatest moments in all opera.  

Maxim Emelyanychev conducts the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and Chorus and a brilliant cast in the fourth of their acclaimed series of Mozart operas in concert at the Festival. 

The Anderson Opera Series, made possible by James and Morag Anderson, allows the Festival to bring internationally acclaimed opera to Edinburgh and ensures these unmissable performances remain accessible to the widest possible audience.
