NEW YORK - Jan. 23, 2024 - PRLog -- Amore Opera starts their 23-24 season with an updated production of Mozart's Don Giovanni. Mozart's exciting operatic masterpiece about the legendary libertine often known as Don Juan, and his unrepentant journey through multiple seductions and betrayals to his eventual retribution to hell will be staged at THE CENTER AT WEST PARK, New York.

While Da Ponte's libretto was written in the 1780s, its characters and their stories can be readily understood and empathized with today. This production of Don Giovanni incorporates elements of the modern era while respecting that the original themes of the opera are timeless in their own right.

The performance dates and times are as follow:

Friday, Jan 26th at 7:30 p.m.

Saturday, Jan 27th at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

Thu, Feb 1st, 7:30 p.m.

Fri, Feb 2nd, 7:30 p.m.
