Opera "Don Juan" Automatic translate

December 19 at 19.00.

Petersburg Concert and the St. Petersburg Symphony Orchestra will present Mozart’s masterpiece Don Giovanni at the Hermitage Theater.

The story of Don Giovanni has become one of the most sought-after theatrical subjects.

World art has a huge variety of interpretations of the image of this literary hero. He appears before us either as a daring adventurer, then as a bold and dexterous seducer of women, then as a carefree burner of life, or as a tragic character.

In the production of the director Irina Fokina, the audience will meet with the hero - a true romantic, in love with a Woman. His attitude to the Beautiful Lady is admirable. Like a flash of bright blinding light, he appears in the fate of his heroines, filling their lives with beauty and seduction. He plays, sets his own rules and subordinates reality to his will. However, at the moment when he, killing the Commander, breaks the line - everything collapses, and fortune leaves the hero. All those around want revenge and achieve what they want, but, together with Don Juan, all the colors disappear from the life of these people. His chosen ones never find happiness. They are waiting for disappointment and piercing emptiness. It is no coincidence that if Don Juan is hell, then we all dream of being there.

The performance, created with the participation of the leading artists of Petersburg Concert, will continue a series of productions made specifically for the Hermitage Theater. By tradition, copies of the exhibits of the State Hermitage will be used in the design of the stage.
