Surely, the protagonist of the conference was director Andrei Şerban, "Don Giovanni" being his first assembly, an opera that he chose to perform in Romania. Entitled "Mozart and Don Giovanni", Andrei Şerban read an excerpt from the foreword that will stand as an introduction on the hall booklet of the new spectacle.

He then listed the financial hardships that he dealt with, he thanked the team with which he worked, the performers, mostly young people, very open to his suggestions as a director and as an actor to be credible characters, that are taking part in an assembly brought all the way to the 21^st century.

Thus, as the director stated, a younger audience will also be brought in larger numbers to see the performance. Director Andrei Şerban also suggested that we should attend both premiers, on the 31^st of August and on the 1^st of September, to witness two separate distributions, two interpreters of Don Giovanni, Adrian Mărcan and Csaba Sandor, two very different, even opposite characters, who might leave the audience with two different messages at the end of each performance.

Andrei Şerban assured us that his vision as a director sets the audience's imagination free, they can outline their own perception of the notion of this opera, that was written in the 18^th century, and then transposed into the 21^st century. The director is also certain that future generations will find other means to express the opera "Don Giovanni", in relation to the contemporary audience.

The first performance takes place tonight at 6:30, conducted by Ciprian Teodoraşcu.
