This time it was the retelling of the Don Juan story through Mozart’s music. The trip was a great success and visiting backstage seeing all the technical side of an opera was an insightful experience. The general consensus among the students was that the changed ending was a bit of an anti-climax, even if fitting with today’s attitude towards economics and social standing, it would have been nicer to see the bad guy die rather than continue his sinful existence.
