Synopsis

This is a story about a man who loved and loathed women, a heartless seducer. This is renowned opera director Kasper Holten’s take on Mozart’s masterpiece Don Giovanni. The protagonist of this urban drama is Juan, a celebrated artist and notorious playboy going through an endless stream of conquests and betrayals of women. His restless appetite for life and sex drives him onto a destructive path, to a point where he realizes that if his life is a work of art, then there is only one way to finish his masterpiece. Accompanied by Concerto Copenhagen, Juan is played by baritone Christopher Maltman. –Istanbul Film Festival

I've long been a fan of musicals; 'Juan' might end up responsible for making me an opera fan as well. Cleverly updating and condensing the story of Mozart's brilliant 'Don Giovanni', 'Juan' alters the fates of several characters but preserves the spirit of the narrative. The cast's voices soar as they recite the updated and anglicized lyrics, the translation of which has been (for the most part) beautifully handled.
