Christian Blex debuts with the Istanbul State Opera taking the podium for the first two of five performances of Mozart’s Don Giovanni at the Turk Telekom Opera House on 5 February at 8pm and 7 February at 3pm 🎼

Staged by Aytaç Manizade, Don Giovanni is a dark comedy that blends humor and tragedy. With a libretto by Lorenzo Da Ponte, the opera explores desire, power, and consequence through the story of the notorious Spanish nobleman, revealing contrasting sides of human nature shaped by Mozart’s musical genius.
