What's on in Beijing (Nov 24-30)

NCPA Opera Don Giovanni

From Molière, Byron, Pushkin, Alexandre Dumas to Merimee, the story of Don Giovanni came down in many European literary giants' writings for nearly 400 years. In 1787, Mozart wrote the opera Don Giovanni based on Lorenzo da Ponte's libretto, portraying a bold and romantic Don Giovanni who defies convention. Mozart created a lively dramatic atmosphere, and brought to life the characters of different classes, identities and personalities.

The National Center for the Performing Arts is staging its own production of Don Giovanni based on Mozart's version of the classic. Both Chinese and foreign singers with outstanding performances in Mozart's operas will gather together to present the unique charms of the composer's music.
