Don Giovanni premiered at Prague in 1787 was a huge success, with some critics even hailing it as the finest work of all time, making it one of the masterpieces in the operatic repertoire. Most operas are all about love and that is no exception from Don Giovanni. However, Mozart turned this into a whole new perspective with Don Giovanni, a character full of charisma, fearless, wily, contemptuous of religion, and never repent. In Mozart's days, even at Moliere's, Don Giovanni’s personality was extremely unacceptable in the society. Ironically, it depicts that everyone had this shadow of “Don Giovanni” in their heart. Mozart's bold use of music to describe the character was a great success. Everyone around Don Giovanni is exemplary. Some act upon their own interests, some are opportunistic, some are always seeking revenge, while some are hysteria. All of these are illustrated by Mozart's incredible compositional skills. Although Don Giovanni is an opera buffa, it consists of seriousness and dramatic elements at the same time. Mozart's music wanders skillfully in both extremes of comical and dramatic. Don Giovanni is one of the most debauched men in the opera world, with him ending up in hell is the only option to end the show which is reminiscent of La Traviata, one of the most promiscuous women. Although these two characters ended in death, one went to heaven and another to hell. What makes the difference is a sincere repentance, which is something that we today should look into. During this pandemic, we should even take more time to look into the purpose of our life. It is necessary to use Don Giovanni as a case study to reflect on. Of course, we can brush it off with a smile. However, we still have to face our own soul. Tang Xinxin Director This will be an approximately 90 minutes Abridged Version with no intermission. The Abridged Version of opera production started in 2019, where we will select excerpts from an opera to perform in a smaller scale setup. This is a platform for us to identify, nurture, and develop local talents for sustainable development of the Arts in Singapore. This is also to provide opportunities for upcoming local talents to gain stage experiences. ACT I SCENE 1 Leporello is at dissatisfaction with the things he is facing, longing he would no longer have to be Don Giovanni's servant. Meanwhile, Don Giovanni completely caught Donna Anna off guard in her room. In order to save his daughter’s dignity, Commendatore gets into a duel with Don Giovanni but is unfortunately stabbed to death. SCENE 2 Donna Elvira arrives at Sevilla, Spain, in search of the ungrateful Don Giovanni. However, he brushes Donna Elvira off with his glib tongue yet again. Leporello explains to Donna Elvira that she is not the first and the last victim with reference to Don Giovanni’s catalogue of women. Leporello quickly departs leaving Donna Elvira in anger. SCENE 3 Don Giovanni is on his move again and this time, his prey is an attractive looking peasant, Zerlina, who was in the midst of the celebration of engagement of Ma- setto and herself. When Zerlina is about to fall into Don Giovanni’s advances, Donna Elvira interrupts and brings Zerlina away. Donna Elvira warns Donna Anna and Don Ottavio not to trust Don Giovanni, when Donna Anna then recognises the voice and realises Don Giovanni is the murderer of her father. SCENE 4 Don Giovanni meets Zerlina again in a party hosted by him. However, Donna Anna, Donna Elvira, and Don Ottavio arrive in disguise, exposing Don Giovanni’s inhumane behaviour, which resulted in causing Don Giovanni’s plan to prey on Zerlina to fail once more. ACT II SCENE 1 In order to seduce Donna Elvira’s attractive maid, Don Giovanni manages to persuade Leporello to exchange clothes with him. Thinking that this is their chance to capture Don Giovanni, everyone gathered only to find Leporello disguised as Don Giovanni, and they left indignantly. SCENE 2 After getting caught and punished by Zerlina, and realizing that he ended up in this state due to his master, Leporello pleads for mercy and escapes.

    tj Tianjin reviews, events and information TIANJIN FOOD AND DRINK AWARDS The City's Best Bars and Restaurants Revealed See p2 THE BUZZ TRANSPORT BLAST FROM THE PAST Damaged vehicles from last August’s Port of Tianjin warehouse explosion are finding their way onto the black market – and into unsuspecting hands. In an incident reported last month, a buyer paid RMB625,000 for a ‘brand new’ Jeep Grand Cherokee only to discover that it was a refurbished vehicle that had been damaged in the explosion. According to a notice released by Jeep last December, its Jeep Grand Cherokees were in the open-air – although outside the blast radius – at the time of the event. As such, the company requires its dealers to inform customers of this before purchasing. Additionally, 1,300 severely damaged vehicles were given to an insurance company, which was directed to keep them. Since then, a black market of dealers and repair shops has been repairing the cars and selling them at reduced prices. A professor at the China University of Political Science and Law, Zhu Wei, told China Radio International that industry regulators need to “ensure the cars that are meant to be destroyed are indeed destroyed.” RANDOM NUMBER EDUCATION ROMANCE 101 Tianjin University is now offering classes in an unconventional – yet universally experienced – subject regarding matters of the heart. The course, titled ‘Basic Theory and Experience of Love' has proved popular, with around 200 students attending the first lecture. Topics covered range from dating tips and etiquette to counseling, and are taught by teachers from the university and external experts.
