Pynarello is known for performing iconic classical works in completely new ways — without a conductor and without sheet music. Now it’s time for the next step: for the first time, Pynarello is taking on an opera. John Giovanni is an absurdist rock-’n-roll version of Mozart’s masterpiece.

Mozart was a musical genius and, at the same time, a cheeky character who loved to poke fun at himself and others. In his time, his operas were the ultimate mix of humour and drama. Pynarello breathes new life into his absurdist spirit with a bold and hilarious adaptation of one of his greatest works: Don Giovanni. It just might give you a taste of what Mozart’s audiences felt back in the day.

Satire, drama, film, Mozart’s music and a bit of rock-’n-roll — the spirit of the past dressed in the style of today. Pynarello is more than up for the task. This fearless ensemble, known for smashing the sacred conventions of classical music, gets a helping hand from Michiel Romeyn, who shines in the role of the charismatic rock star and womaniser John Giovanni. You’ll also see and hear Dorona Alberti and Jim van der Zee. Classical meets pop, cabaret, and theatre.
