SUMMARY:Mozart: Il Don Giovanni (Da Ponte's 1826 Edition)
DESCRIPTION:Teatro Nuovo presents Bel Canto classics and rarities with a pe
 riod-instrument orchestra and a performing style the Wall Street Journal c
 alls “transformative.” \nMozart’s Don Giovanni was the first oper
 a ever to become a permanent part of the international repertory\, from it
 s premiere in 1787 to the present day. It was also the earliest work inclu
 ded in North America’s first season of Italian opera two hundred years a
 go–a production personally supervised and edited by Lorenzo da Ponte\, t
 he original author of the text. Teatro Nuovo is restoring the form of the 
 title he and Mozart used\, Il Don Giovanni\, and is taking the anniversar
 y occasion to restore as well everything we can learn about the performanc
 e style of the work’s early life. It presents the famous drama in a stre
 amlined\, brilliantly vivacious guise. Ricardo José Rivera\, the baritone
  star of Teatro Nuovo’s last three seasons and more recently of the Metr
 opolitan Opera’s I Puritani\, returns in his first-ever portrayal of th
 e Don\; Geoffrey Loff leads the company’s celebrated original-instrument
  orchestra. The projected English titles come to us from Da Ponte’s son 
 Luigi\, created for the printed 1826 libretto. Expect the unexpected! \nF
