Berkeley Rep - 1990

Berkeley Rep
Berkeley, California
April 22-29, 1990

Director: Irene Lewis
Set: Christopher Barreca
Dramaturgy: Amlin Gray

Mozart music will cover all of the scene changes, and in the "Don Juan' section itself, a piano will roll onstage to allow the Devil (Charles Lanyer) to accompany one of his own linguistic arias. "I wanted "Don Giovanni' to permeate the whole production," says Lewis, who at one point contemplated staging a kind of emblematic Don Juan scene as a frontispiece to the evening. Additions, when there were already so many subtractions, finally didn't seem prudent. Steven Winn, San Francisco Chronicle
