Mozart's Don Giovanni at Teatro Aurora, Firenze‐Scandicci

About the Event

Experience opera like never before in this astonishing performance of Mozart's masterwork at the remarkable Cinema Teatro Aurora in Firenze‐Scandicci.

Although sometimes classified as comic, it mixes comedy, melodrama and supernatural elements — Don Giovanni, a womaniser, serial seducer who also becomes a murderer, a young, arrogant, sexually promiscuous nobleman, abuses and insults everyone else in the cast (including his long‐suffering servant Leporello) until he encounters something he cannot kill, beat, evade or outwit: the ghost of the murdered man. Haunted by the ghost, he decides to invite him to dinner, where the ghost urges him to repent — but Don Giovanni refuses.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Perhaps the most important composer of all time, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was an Austrian composer of the late 18th century. Born in 1756 in Salzburg, he showed prodigious musical talent from childhood. Beginning at five years of age, he composed more than 600 works, including concertos, symphonies, religious works and operas before his premature death at the age of 35. Hi influence over successive generations cannot be overestated — Ludwig van Beethoven wrote of Mozart 'posterity will not see such a talent again in 100 years”. Despite the immense success of his compositions, and the acclaim he received across Europe, Mozart achieved little financial security and rwas buried in an unmarked grave in Vienna's St Marx Cemetery.
