Baritone Mark Walters (Don Giovanni) and soprano Nicole Heaston (Donna Elvira) bring a wealth of experience to the Kalamazoo Symphony's production of Don Giovanni, which began rehearsals May 18 for the May 26 performance. In an energetic conversation with Cara Lieurance, they talk about the dark and light aspects of Mozart's famous work, and how their characters interact within the drama.
Friday night's performance of Don Giovanni marks the end of conductor Raymond Harvey's eighteen-year tenure as music director. With the new title of music director emeritus, he will return to conduct one concert each season in the years to come. For more information, visit the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra website.
