Blending selections from the music of Don Giovanni, which Da Ponte encouraged the Garcia family to present in 1826, as well as an original script based upon Da Ponte’s memoirs and Malibran and Garcia’s letters, we tell the story of the meeting of these three musical icons and their important contribution to Italian culture and the arts. This will be a unique historical-based production, re-enacting events leading up to New York's first Italian opera, celebrating the connection between Mozart's librettist Lorenzo da Ponte, one of NY's first Italian immigrants, Spanish bel canto expert Manuel Garcia, and his daughter, opera diva Maria Malibran.
Presented in collaboration with Divaria Productions and our web - Original Text written by Andrew Bell
