Dinner
and a Diva: It's Don Giovanni
By Doc Lawrence
Mozart's opera Don Giovanni is this month’s feature presentation for
Dinner and a Diva, one of the most creative gourmet offerings this side of the
French Quarter. Produced by the Capital City Opera Company, Atlanta’s pride and
joy of accessible classical music, the performances are at two highly regarded
restaurants, Petite Augerge in Toco Hills near the Emory campus and Sugo in
John’s Creek.
The cast includes soprano Elizabeth Claxton singing the role
of Donna Anna/Zerlina with
soprano Jessica Dennison performing Donna
Elvira, along with tenor Khary Wilson as Don Ottavio joined by baritone Brian Bonin as Don Giovanni. The other voices are
baritone Timothy Marshall as Leporello
and bass-baritone Chris Connelly as Commendatore.
Capitol City Opera's music director Catherine Giel will be
the accompanist.
You’ll need to make reservations and why not bring a friend.
Dining is a celebration of friendship and when Mozart is added, something
special is in the air. By the way, Mozart's Don Giovanni currently
occupies 10th place on the Operabase list of the most-performed operas
worldwide.
