Crosscut Tout: A dark and yet playful 'Don Giovanni'

A bright, young 'Don Giovanni,' by the Seattle Opera's Young Artists Program, plays April 7 and 9 at Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue.

Mozart's Don Giovanni is tuneful but dark, with interwoven strands of decadence and playfulness. It is, if you will, both "Twilight" and Twilight of the Gods, so it's a plausible fit for the up-and-coming singers of Seattle Opera's Young Artists Program.

Peter Kazaras, who directed Rossini's Barber of Seville on the main stage earlier this year, is staging Don Giovanni this weekend (April 7, 9) at Meydenbauer Center.

If you go: Don Giovanni, 7:30 p.m. April 7 and April 9, Meydenbauer Center, 11100 N.E. Sixth St., Bellevue. Tickets cost $50 ($20 for students) and are available by phone, 206-389-7676, or online.
