Pynarello’s John Giovanni

What if Mozart lived in 2025? He’d probably play in a rock band, stir up scandals, and go viral on TikTok. In John Giovanni, opera’s most notorious womanizer gets a modern makeover. Don becomes John: an overblown rock star who thinks he can get away with anything. Pynarello drags Mozart’s masterpiece out of the museum and hurls it through a rock storm of drums, bass, and wailing saxophones. The famous overture hits harder than it did in 1787, and Deh Vieni Alla Finestra shifts from a seductive mandolin serenade to a ripping guitar solo. Mozart meets the Stones—and they love it.

On stage: pop singer Dorona Alberti (Gare du Nord) as the woman out for revenge, and The Voice winner Jim van der Zee as the would-be knight in shining armor. On the big screen: Jiskefet legend Michiel Romeyn as the repulsive John Giovanni. Stage and film engage in a hilarious dialogue, with Pynarello providing the anarchistic soundtrack. The result: a vibrant hour where opera, film, humor, and rock collide—made for anyone who dares to laugh at men with oversized egos. For lovers of Mozart and today’s music. For fans of Jiskefet and opera alike.

Program

Based on Don Giovanni by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Including:

Madamina, il catalogo è questo
Là ci darem la mano
Dalla sua pace
Fin ch’han dal vino
Deh vieni alla finestra
Don Giovanni, a cenar teco
