FILM SCREENING: Don Giovanni Unmasked

Join us at the L.E. Shore Library & Gallery for a special screening of “Don Giovanni Unmasked”, with director Barbara Willis Sweete and designer Teresa Przybylski in attendance. Featuring one of the greatest operatic baritones of all time, Dmitri Hvorostovsky (1962 - 2017), this is a re-working of Mozart's operatic masterpiece, presented from the point of view of Don Giovanni's servant, Leporello. Taking the form of a black and white film within a colour film, the opera takes place in two different epochs - 1930s Hollywood and 17th-century Spain. The film offers a tantalizing new perspective on the character of Don Giovanni and his outlandish, but ultimately tragic, romantic escapades. Following the screening, Barbara and Teresa will host an informal Q&A session, exploring the making of the film and the creative process behind adapting this remarkable opera to the screen. This is a free event. Visit our website to register!
