There have been numerous stagings of the opera, but the 2011 interpretation by Iván Fischer and the Festival Orchestra has managed to fire up and dazzle not only Hungarian audiences, but also those at the Mostly Mozart Festival. Seen and Heard International went as far as to write that “this production will stand as a hallmark against which all others will be judged”. To kick off the season, the BFO’s music director is presenting Mozart’s grand opera, with a new cast featuring one of the world’s most popular Don Giovannis, Christopher Maltman, in the now familiar staged concert format.

Hungarian audiences will have the chance to see the performance on 21, 23 and 24 September at Müpa Budapest.
