Mozart at the Top of His GameMistaken identities, parties, and ghostly powers

combine with breathtaking music in one of the

greatest works of opera.

In this interpretation of the timeless classic,

the legendary “Don Juan” is a celebrated

matador with a rock star persona. With an air

of invincibility, the dashing, devilish seducer is

constantly in search of a new conquest. But his

incessant pursuit of women at any cost eventually

earns him a dramatic punishment. Three of his

female targets join forces to wreak vengeance on

him. However in the end it’s the supernatural that

demands the Don’s repentance.

irresistible bass-baritone that helps explain why women would

be drawn to the oleaginous sociopath.

“

”

Rossini’s Show-Stopping Music Sparkles with Wit and CharmIt is one laugh after another in this crazy tale of

close shaves, disguises, and hilarious antics. The

scheming barber and jack-of-all-trades plots to

help his friend the Count woo the lovely Rosina

and enable her to escape the clutches of her

lecherous old guardian, Dr. Bartolo. Does Figaro

have enough tricks up his sleeve to outfox the

old doctor, unite the lovers, and save the day?

With loveable characters, catchy music, and pure

joy and silliness throughout, it is no wonder this

comedic gem still tops the charts in popularity!
