The producers of “Mozart’s Don Giovanni: A Rock Opera” have made the decision to put the production on a brief hiatus.
Per an official press release, the decision was made as a result of the intense summer heat in New York City.
“While the venue has been a wonderful partner and home for our launch, current temperature control limitations have made it necessary to pause performances in the interest of safety and comfort for our cast, crew, and audiences,” says the official press release.
The opera was scheduled to run through August 26, but the final performances will be given this week. The company is exploring other possibilities for future performance venues.
“We had a glorious opening with our great partners at The Cutting Room,” said director Adam B Levowitz. “It was the perfect place to launch this bold new production, and we’re so grateful for the support and excitement they brought to the table. While the summer heat presented an unexpected hurdle, we’re thrilled about what’s next. We’re already in discussions about the next chapter of ‘Mozart’s Don Giovanni: A Rock Opera,’ and can’t wait to bring it to even more audiences very soon.”
The rock opera stars Ryan Silverman, Richard Coleman, Rachel Zatcoff, Anchal Dhir, Felipe Bombonato, Edwin Jhamaal Davis, Sophie Belkin, Kevin Hegmann, and Sean Mannix.
