Beware Temptation.

wolfgang amadeus mozart

Don GiovanniBeware Temptation

Widely regarded as the greatest opera ever composed, Don Giovanni tells of the devious schemes and hijinks of history’s most beguiling scoundrel, Don Juan. Mozart’s anti-hero has a personality so engaging that audiences root for him, even as his dark side emerges. Don Giovanni is a brilliant combination of comedy and tragedy, set to music of limitless genius.
