2 2018/19 SEASON S AT U R D AY NOVEMBER 24 T U E S D AY NOVEMBER 27 FRIDAY NOVEMBER 30 7:00 PM Don Giovanni Daniel Okulitch Leporello Stephen Hegedus Donna Elvira Monica Huisman Mozart at the Top of His Game Mistaken identities, parties, and ghostly powers combine with breathtaking music in one of the greatest works of opera. In this interpretation of the timeless classic, the legendary Don Juan is a celebrated matador with a rock star persona. With an air of invincibility, the dashing, devilish seducer is constantly in search of a new conquest. But his incessant pursuit of women at any cost eventually earns him a dramatic punishment. Three of his female targets join forces to wreak vengeance on him. However in the end it s the supernatural that demands the Don s repentance. MUSIC Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Commendatore Kirk Eichelberger Zerlina Andrea Lett Conductor Tyrone Paterson Director Oriol Tomas LIBRETTO Lorenzo da Ponte Daniel Okulitch (Don Giovanni), Keri Alkema (Donna Elvira), Santa Fe Opera, Don Giovanni, Photo: K. Howards An Exquisite Masterpiece of Tragedy and Dark comedy [Daniel Okulitch] sings Giovanni with an irresistible bass-baritone that helps explain why women would be drawn to the oleaginous sociopath.

3 2018/19 SEASON S AT U R D AY APRIL 6 TUESDAY APRIL 9 FRIDAY APRIL 12 7:00 PM Figaro Elliot Madore Rosina Andrea Hill Almaviva Andrew Owens Rossini s Show-Stopping Music Sparkles with Wit and Charm It is one laugh after another in this crazy tale of close shaves, disguises, and hilarious antics. The scheming barber and jack-of-all-trades plots to help his friend the Count woo the lovely Rosina and enable her to escape the clutches of her lecherous old guardian, Dr. Bartolo. Does Figaro have enough tricks up his sleeve to outfox the old doctor, unite the lovers, and save the day? With loveable characters, catchy music, and pure joy and silliness throughout, it is no wonder this comedic gem still tops the charts in popularity!
