Opera
Don Giovanni
Sensual, obsessive and treacherous, with the will to live as if he were to die tomorrow, Mozart’s enigmatic ‘Don’ demonstrates that unrestrained free will is illusory and nothing can equal all divine power.

“Costumes by Isabella Andoronos are terrific, with some stunning dresses for Donna Anna and Donna Elvira in particular, while their assistants wear severely cut black and white suits ( and have fun picking out the Batman, Superman and Cleopatra costumes for example in the masked ball in Act 2 ). The staging is set as if it backstage at a film lot or theatre with revolving panels , various clothes racks etc .The statue of the Commendatore is one of several Oscar like statues on plinths.” Lynne Lancaster, Sydney Arts Guide, 2017
