A KL Reimagining of a Timeless Masterpiece
Directed by Heather Tan and conducted by Bernard Tan, this production reinterprets Don Giovanni not as a nobleman, but as a charismatic yet ruthless corporate figure with a fashion empire. His seductive conquests unfold across KL’s sleek skyscrapers and cloaked alleyways, reflecting power and manipulation in the modern age.
“By transplanting Don Giovanni into the heart of Kuala Lumpur, we highlight timeless themes of ambition, desire, and downfall within a distinctly Malaysian context,” says Heather Tan.
