"Love, Lust and Betrayal"

"Welcome to the Vienna Grand! 

Set in the reception area of the infamous Vienna Grand Hotel, three people become entangled in a web of love, affairs and intrigues. A fast-paced journey through the night with songs from Mozart’s most loved operas Don Giovanni, The Magic Flute, Cosi fan tutte and The Marriage of Figaro.

Presented in a fresh interpretation with new English lyrics - Mozart as you’ve never heard it before!

And remember: What happens in the Vienna Grand..."

"A Night in Vienna" will be performed as a companion piece to Rimsky Korsakov's "Mozart and Salieri"

VoiceArc: Don Giovanni

Director: Dr Nell Drew, Conductor: Ondrej Soukoup

Saturday, May 13th, 2017, 19:00: Broughton St Mary's Church, Edinburgh

Nina will sing the role of Donna Elvira

Description:

"The prison spaceship moves forward into the void. Don Giovanni's brain, all that is left of the evil lothario after a million years, is scheming. If his plan succeeds he can exude an emanation and create the havoc of old.  Don Pedro stands at the helm and a shiver runs down his spine as he suddenly worries for his daughter Donna Anna...but she is safely in stasis.  Or is she?"

VoiceArc return with their unique take on their third of W. A. Mozart's Da Ponte operas: Don Giovanni.  The Don and his fellow characters are brought together on a prison spaceship in a new and exciting reworking of the concept, but the music, libretto and the singing is, as always with VoiceArc, faithful to the original Mozart and Da Ponte masterpiece.  

Sung In Italian with English surtitles.
