In a production inspired by film noir and staged by Kristine McIntyre, Mozart’s opera is a brilliant combination of stark human tragedy and touching human comedy. For Mozart and da Ponte, the seducer is amoral and yet sincere until his doom. Unrepentant, he refuses his last chance to atone in his final moments, and we are all mesmerized by his descent into hell.
