Opera Buffa is a contemporary adaptation of Mozart’s Don Giovanni by Laika and Muziektheater Transparant. This highly imaginative production applauds the power of subtle longing.
Amazing dishes create a titillating tension between craving and surrender. The musical adaptation for a small number of musicians and singers allows the clarity of Don Giovanni to shine through. Opera Buffa restores the sophisticated game of seducing and being seduced to its rightful place of honor, that of elevated art. This musical-culinary project for the theatre leaves not a single sense untouched. During the performance the audience enjoys irresistibly served foods. Hearty, sensual and divine.
