"The Grand Seducers: Giovanni Meets Xi-men Qing: a new East-West
Opera with music by noted composer Gang Situ, represents the romances
and chance encounters of two legendary Casanovas, Mozart's "Don
Giovanni" and Xi-men Qing of the Water Margin Heroes novel (Song
Dynasty, 960-1280 A.D.). This innovative operatic creation combines
Mozart's great rendition of Don Giovanni and famous characters from
classic Chinese opera in a new story by prolific librettist Cao
Lusheng. The opera, sung in English punctured with Chinese, features
Merola Opera artists with vocal brilliance and comic ebullience,
under the direction of Isabel Milenski. Music by Gang Situ; Libretto
by Cao Lusheng; Directed by Isabel Milenski.
Venue:
Chinese Cultureal Center
Hilton Hotel, 750 Kearny Street, 3rd Floor
