Ana María Martínez stars as Donna Elvira in Tony Award–winning director Ivo van Hove’s new production of Mozart’s tragicomedy, re-setting the familiar tale of deceit and damnation in an abstract architectural landscape. Maestro Nathalie Stutzmann conducts a brilliant cast, including Peter Mattei in the title role, Adam Plachetka as Leporello, Federica Lombardi as Donna Anna, Ying Fang as Zerlina, and Ben Bliss as Don Ottavio. Erin Morley hosts.
