0:00:14 > 0:00:18Giovanni is a mystery.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21One of the biggest lovers in the world.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23A man on an endless quest for immortality.
0:00:26 > 0:00:31- Don Giovanni is a horrible man. He betrays everyone.- He's a dreamer.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33He's a dangerous man.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Scum of the earth.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Probably there are many Don Giovannis in the street.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45Please don't meet them. Don't even talk to them. It's better like this.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49He's fabulously, charismatically attractive.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52I want to kill him.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07Scandalously immoral.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Adored and mourned in equal measure by audiences.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Don Giovanni is opera's most notorious seducer.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17He's as irresistible today as he was when Mozart
0:01:17 > 0:01:20and his librettist Da Ponte got together to write
0:01:20 > 0:01:25the opera for the National Theatre in Prague in 1787.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26The show was a sensation.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29It made its way to England 30 years later
0:01:29 > 0:01:33and has been a crowd puller here and everywhere ever since.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36It's musically brilliant
0:01:36 > 0:01:39and it's a powerful reflection of the human condition.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44It's a story about a man who has seduced 2,065 women.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46But on the morning of one of his conquests
0:01:46 > 0:01:49he gets stopped by the father of this woman he just seduced
0:01:49 > 0:01:51and in the ensuing fight he kills him.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53And from then on it's all downhill.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01Donna Anna is part of the nobility and her father decided
0:02:01 > 0:02:03she should marry Don Ottavio.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07And Don Ottavio runs in and she realises that she is not able
0:02:07 > 0:02:09to say what happened.
0:02:09 > 0:02:10So she starts lying
0:02:10 > 0:02:14and she continues lying to Don Ottavio all through the piece.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21Donna Elvira is the official wife of Don Giovanni.
0:02:21 > 0:02:26He married her in Burgos a few days ago and just left her.
0:02:26 > 0:02:31So she's running after him and she's looking for him
0:02:31 > 0:02:34and she's really, really in love with him
0:02:34 > 0:02:40and she thought he was honest with her but obviously he is just a liar.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42I'm playing Zerlina, who is a peasant girl.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46And often she's portrayed as quite naive, a bit innocent
0:02:46 > 0:02:48and somebody who's seduced by the don.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51But in this production she's a bit more ambitious.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54She wants to better herself and she sees the don as maybe
0:02:54 > 0:02:55a way of doing that.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59The relationship between Leporello
0:02:59 > 0:03:05and Don Giovanni in this production is not exactly servant and boss.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10It's basically of two friends.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Leporello is his conscience.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14Both the little devil on his shoulder
0:03:14 > 0:03:17and the little angel on his shoulder talking in his ears.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21It's, in a way, some of the inner dialogues that Don Giovanni doesn't have otherwise,
0:03:21 > 0:03:23he has them with Leporello.
0:03:25 > 0:03:30We are not meeting Don Giovanni when he tries to seduce the 30th girl.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34He is trying to seduce the 2,000 and some hundred.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37So, you know, he's the loser. It's the last time.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41He will not have any girl that day.
0:03:42 > 0:03:47Don Giovanni is the guy who gives everything to every woman.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48Everything she wants.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54And he learned it. He's an artist.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58He's seeing the women as an art.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02What we see on the walls in this production is his quick drawings.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05A few words about this and that woman
0:04:05 > 0:04:08just to remember what it was like.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15We have turned the stage into a version of Don Giovanni's mind.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17A complex, ever-changing set.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21It's almost as if we enter his mind as the girls he seduced do.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Because we're projection mapping over the entire
0:04:24 > 0:04:27sculpture at all times, sometimes you're not sure
0:04:27 > 0:04:30if a wall is really moving or a projected door is moving.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35We have to fix where I'm coming from because I open one door
0:04:35 > 0:04:37and then I open the second door.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40I opened the second door and it was a third door.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43It's both a tragedy and a comedy, a farce that needs to move fast
0:04:43 > 0:04:44and be funny.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51We set it in Victorian times, where they're all completely buttoned up.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53They wear gloves, they show no skin.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57If Giovanni even takes the glove off one of them
0:04:57 > 0:05:00and touches her hand it would almost give her a sexual experience.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10In the early stages Zerlina is determined not to be that easy.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11I don't want to be that easy.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14He doesn't have to just take off my glove! Really? Really?
0:05:14 > 0:05:18HE SINGS IN ITALIAN
0:05:18 > 0:05:21That could be the moment to say, here I am.
0:05:21 > 0:05:26He's trying to find out what life is. Why is he getting older?
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Why this whole fantastic energy, youth.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33Craziness, passion is disappearing.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Mozart wrote it at the end of his life. He had so many lovers.
0:05:38 > 0:05:43He tried so many parties, crazy life. And I think he was tired with that.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46And this is more or less like with Don Giovanni.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55APPLAUSE
