Metropolitan Opera's Don Giovanni Mirrors a World on the Verge of Moral Collapse
The Metropolitan Opera has revived Ivo van Hove's austere 2023 production of Mozart's Don Giovanni.
Van Hove's approach strips away the baroque ornamentation, opting for a bleak, monochromatic, and architecturally brutalist set.
The architecture itself becomes a metaphor for isolation, alienation, and powerlessness.
Yannick Nézet-Séguin's sense of tempo, dynamics, and orchestral coloration sets a tone of taut tension, bringing a blend of disciplined musical grounding and expressive freedom.
