Don Juan at Musikhuset Aarhus
Come and experience Mozart's seductive classic Don Juan at Musikhuset Aarhus. Let yourself be swept away by the dramatic tale of love, sin and destiny, performed with Danish subtitles and conducted by the Aarhus Symphony Orchestra.
Joyful or tragic?
Join us when Don Juan, one of the world's most beloved and frequently performed operas, unfolds at Musikhuset Aarhus. The opera tells the story of the bon vivant Don Juan's last days – a journey towards defeat, passion and condemnation. Verdi's sublime composition and Lorenzo da Ponte's sharp libretto showcase a view of humanity that has fascinated audiences for centuries.
This production of Don Juan balances humour, tragedy and reflection. You can look forward to scenes that both impress and provoke thought. The audience is taken into the myth's own carousel of desire, responsibility and ultimate punishment.
