Don Giovanni

Don Giovanni programme cover.png

Mozart's Don Giovanni will be performed at the Assembly Rooms Theatre on 1st, 2nd and 5th March, 2022. 

​

Based on the story of Don Juan, Don Giovanni follows a young man who is irresistible and irresponsible in his quest for love. The libertine catches the hearts of many ladies, but for how long can he get away with his amoral wrongdoings? DOE’s production, set in 2017 Britain follows the stories of the women affected by Don Giovanni’s behaviour and presents the fate of toxic masculinity.

 

TW: suggestion of sexual assault, suggestion of domestic abuse, stabbing, gun violence, general violence, blood, alcohol/intoxication and swearing

Mixed Messages

Poster Mixed Messages.png

Durham Opera Ensemble presents Mixed Messages - a partially student-written show about love, temptations and promises. 

 

A young couple have their loyalties tested when their stag and hen parties end up on the same night and through some bad luck, at the same location. A night of drunkenness, complications and temptation ensues. Will they stay loyal or will the pressures of the night break them? With dialogue written by Edward Wenborn and music by Verdi, Gilbert & Sullivan, Bizet and Mozart, Mixed Messages gives the old classics a new twist in its contemporary setting.

 

Caedmon Hall, Durham

25-26 November, 2021
