Tanglewood (297 West St., Lenox, MA 01240, Lenox MA)
A cast of widely acclaimed and nearly all-American performers — with baritone Ryan McKinny in the title role, soprano Nicole Cabell and Janai Brugger and more — join BSO Music Director Andris Nelsons and the orchestra for one of the highlights of the summer, a concert opera of Wolfgang Mozart’s Don Giovanni, considered by many to be opera’s greatest dark comedy.
Based on the archetype of the licentious Don Juan, Don Giovanni proceeds from rape and murder through to the Don’s ultimate, supernatural comeuppance. Along the way, Donna Elvira and Donna Anna, two of the women the Don has wronged, undermine his attempts at further reprehensible behavior, while his cynical servant Leporello walks a fine line between service and subterfuge.
