Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote and staged ‘Don Giovanni’ when he was at the height of his creative powers and popularity. The place was Prague and the year was 1787. It was just a year since the prodigiously gifted master had given the world a superbly successful ‘Figaro’. And the time was just right for Mozart and Lorenzo Da Ponte, an Italian libretto to create, ‘Don Giovanni’, a challenging comic opera with serious overtones.

Ahmadi Music Group performed Mozart’s classic Don Giovanni in the Abdulhussain Abdulredha Theatre in Salmiya on Thursday and Friday, 14 and 15 April. The opera narrates the story of a wealthy young man Don Giovanni, who expects every woman to be in love with him, and treats them all with disrespect. Gradually, the women he has dishonored join together and begin to pursue him to take their revenge, but he always manages to escape.The exciting climax of the play successfully concludes his salacious story.
