Timeless classic

NCPA set to thrill fans with Mozart's Don Giovanni, Cheng Yuezhu reports.

After producing Die Zauberflote in 2009 and Le nozze di Figaro in 2016, the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing is staging another of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's timeless classical operas, Don Giovanni, from Tuesday to Saturday.

Many literary and theater works have been written based on the story of the libertine Don Giovanni, or Don Juan, in the past 400 years. But the two-act opera by Mozart and librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte is arguably the most renowned.
