The spooky one! Watch Don Pedro's ghost come to life at Arnos Vale cemetery, a spectacular and beautiful space. Magical! Tessitoura emerged in 2010 from a desire by a group of young musicians to perform opera in unusual and interesting venues. Following the success of ‘The Magic Flute’ in 2011 and ‘The Marriage of Figaro’ in 2012 we are now excited to bring the epic ‘Don Giovanni’ to enthral audiences at our favourite performance spaces and for the first time even in a graveyard! Don Giovanni is a man who takes what he wants: women, money, even lives... The ‘accidental’ death of the Commandatore sets in motion events which will become his undoing. Accompanied by his faithful, if unhappy companion Leporello, our flirtatious gangster evades Donna Anna's accusations and Donna Elvira's want for love and breaks Zerlina's resistance to his charms. Set in the modern day this dark, yet comic opera will be performed with spoken dialogue in a new English translation by Graham Billing.
