Don Giovanni,
probably Mozart’s most famous opera,
is the opening production of the
Festival in 2008. Following his
successful production of Le nozze
di Figaro in Salzburg, German
stage director Claus Guth is
preparing his second Da Ponte opera.
In the title role British baritone
Christopher Maltman, Winner of the
Lieder Prize at the 1997 Cardiff
Singer of the World Competition will
be making his first appearance in
Salzburg in an opera production.
Annette Dasch, highly celebrated
last season as Armida, takes the
role of Donna Anna. Bertrand de
Billy, Anna Netrebko´s favourite
conductor, directs the Vienna
Philharmonic. Dorothea Röschmann,
particularly renowned for her
interpretation of the great Mozart
roles, sings the Donna Elvira and
Erwin Schrott appears as Leporello.
