Tuesday, April 1 at 2:00 PM
Join us in the 2nd floor Busch Room for an afternoon with Opera Philadelphia's Scholar in Residence, Dr. Lily Kass, who will teach us about their upcoming show, its history and development.
About Don Giovanni:
Mozart’s riveting masterpiece follows the charming predator Don Giovanni, a man who uses people without a care for their hearts, or the consequences of his actions. All the while, the sleazy nobleman’s loyal servant records his master’s misdeeds. When he murders the father of a woman he’s assaulted, Giovanni sets in motion events that could lead to his downfall. Will he get away with his crimes and unrepentant pursuit of selfish desire? Or will there be hell to pay?
Full-view seats are sold out for all performances on April 25 & 27 and May 2 & 4 at the Academy of Music. Please check Opera Philadelphia's website or contact the box office (215-732-8400 or tix@operaphila.org) for more information.
