Following the death of Sir Charles Mackerras, the Scottish Chamber Orchestra will dedicate the Opening Concerts of its 2010/11 Season – concert performances of Mozart’s Don Giovanni – to the memory of the Orchestra’s beloved and venerable Conductor Laureate.

Mozart: Don Giovanni (concert performance)

Robin Ticciati: conductor; Florian Boesch: Don Giovanni; Maximilian Schmitt: Don Ottavio; Kate Royal: Donna Elvira; Susan Gritton: Donna Anna; Malin Christensson: Zerlina; Vito Priante: Leporello; David Soar: Masetto; SCO Chorus

A landmark occasion to open the season: Don Giovanni has been performed by no finer cast in Scotland since Mackerras conducted it at the Edinburgh International Festival in the 1990s. Ticciati brings all his Glyndebourne and Salzburg opera house experience to bear on this enthralling comedy of seduction, murder and damnation. Mozart’s score includes some of his most gripping music alongside sparkling tunes that have become universal favourites: the duet ‘Là ci darem la mano’, the serenade ’Deh, vieni alla finestra’ and the love song, ‘Dalla sua pace’ – not to mention that ‘Catalogue Aria’ listing some of the hundreds of women seduced and abandoned by Don Giovanni.
