Don Giovanni

Bergen & Rockland's premiere opera company, Palisades Opera is presenting Mozart's timeless masterpiece Don Giovanni, in Italian (with English narration). The story of Don Giovanni centers around a wealthy, charming, but sociopathic womanizer.  The people he has wronged  seek their revenge against him, including the ghost of the man he murdered.  They will be presenting a semi-staged modern-day concert version of this magnificent opera.  The opera will feature opera singers of the highest caliber including Robert Prowse of Emerson,  Jennifer Cece Bellon and Jim Cagle of Westwood, David Perper of Mahwah, Hyong Sik Jo of Ft. Lee, Megan Candio of Jersey City, Nicole McQuade from New York City and other opera singers from the surrounding area. Staging is directed by Olga Shyp of Ft. Lee.
