John's new production of Mozart's Don Giovanni at the Operosa
Exinograd Festival in Varna, Bulgaria, opened on 23rd June 2007 and was
a resounding success. Conducted by Eraldo Salmieri, the set is designed
by Jamie Vartan (Rigoletto for Opera Holland Park), with costumes by Magail Gerberon (Semele, Scottish Opera) and lighting by Simon Mills (Eugene Onegin, Scottish Opera).
"Genuinely heart-stopping... Simple but most effective...this was a vibrant and vastly enjoyable performance that made excellent use of its surroundings through simple yet imaginative lighting and staging effects. A vibrant sense of excitment pervaded the whole occasion." Opera Now
