Don Giovanni

Three great operas came from the collaboration between the librettist Lorenzo da Ponte and Mozart. Over three seasons the city’s philharmonic presented the trilogy, one opera each year, with sets by three leading architects working with fashion designers, each production a first for the concert hall.

For Don Giovanni, the opening production, the Canadian-American architect created a set of crumpled white paper forms that rise around the stage like a frozen landscape, turning the concert platform into a space for the singers.
