UGA Opera Theatre present "Don Giovanni"

Mozart's classic take on the Don Juan legend is UGA Opera Theatre's spring production in the Fine Arts Theatre, with three performances on February 10 and 11 at 8 p.m. and February 12 at 3 p.m.

Audiences will recognize many of the performers from recent performances with the UGA Symphony Orchestra, the Hodgson School’s Choral area and even the Theatre and Film Studies department, with which the lead of “Don Giovanni,” Isaiah Feken, performed as the titular Sweeney Todd last semester.

Joining the Hodgson School students are Maestro Hilary Griffiths as conductor of the UGA Opera Orchestra and Vince Liotta as stage director. Liotta has worked with the UGA Opera Theatre on multiple past performances, and Griffiths is a newcomer.

“Our guest artists have long international careers in opera and the experience of producing productions of ‘Don Giovanni’ world-wide,” said Burchinal.

Tickets to the concert are $20 each or $6 with a UGA student ID and can be purchased at pac.uga.edu or the PAC box office. Opera in the Fine Arts Theatre is a terrific experience and this will be great fun this weekend.
