The Giacomo variations
Description
Michael Sturminger and Martin Haselböck adapt Casanova's themes and create with their new chamber-opera play "The Giacomo-Variations," a dramatic and humorous approach to a phenomenon. We meet Casanova - alternately played by Hollywood star John Malkovich and a baritone - in various exciting encounters, and are witness to his very personal retrospection on his life in the face of his approaching death. Somewhere in the midst of these encounters, bursting with desire and passion for numerous women, Casanova has to confront his biggest fear: to die, before discovering what he has lived for.
