Don Giovanni

Jul 16, 2015 at 4:00 am
Union Avenue Opera starts its 21st season with Mozart's classic comic opera, Don Giovanni. Written in 1787, the opera cemented Mozart's standing as a rock star of his era. Set in Seville, Don Giovanni tells the story a promiscuous cad who abuses and manipulates those around him at every turn. By the time the second act arrives, the salacious nobleman is up to his neck in complications as a lifetime of skirt-chasing and seduction finally catches up with him. Don Giovanni is performed in Italian with English supertitles at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday (July 10 through 18) at Union Avenue Christian Church (733 North Union Boulevard; 314-361-2881 or www.unionavenueopera.org). Tickets are $30 to $52.
Fridays, Saturdays, 8 p.m. Starts: July 10. Continues through July 18, 2015
