The new production of Don Giovanni, directed by Michael Grandage and conducted by Met Principal Conductor Fabio Luisi, will premiere on October 13 with a cast that stars Mariusz Kwiecien in the title role. The spring cast, conducted by Andrew Davis, features Gerald Finley in the title role, Marina Rebeka as Donna Anna, Isabel Leonard as Zerlina, Matthew Polenzani as Don Ottavio, John Relyea as Leporello, Shenyang as Masetto, and James Morris as the Commendatore.
