MEET THE CAST

DON GIOVANNI

First performed in 1787, Don Giovanni is Mozart’s electrifying retelling of the Don Juan legend, featuring some of his most celebrated and enduring music. Blending comedy with tragedy, the opera follows the notorious seducer as his relentless pursuit of pleasure sets him on a path toward a gripping and ultimately devastating downfall.

Highlights from past shows

Established in 1949, Guild Opera Company is the second oldest opera company

in California after the San Francisco Opera.

Our alumni have included such world famous singers as Metropolitan Opera star mezzo Marilyn Horne, baritone Heinz Blankenburg, actress and soprano Mary Costa, who spoke and sang the role of Princess Aurora in Disney’s Sleeping Beauty and many other Disney films, and voice over artist Marnie Nixon, whose film career as a dubbing singer includes The King and I, West Side Story, My Fair Lady and dozens more.

Guild Opera Company introduces opera to the community and strongly believes in creating opportunities for young up-and-coming talent to gain experience and perform in fully staged opera productions with professional singers.
