Though Jeune Lune dubbed its current season “Mozart and Molière,” this reprise is the only one drawing from both artists. By marrying Molière’s Don Juan to Mozart’s Don Giovanni, both of which were inspired by the legendary Spanish character, this show imagines a pair of lady-killers driving cross-country in a 1950 Plymouth coupe. Dominique Serrand, the troupe’s unmistakably Gallic artistic director, gets behind the wheel of the Molière character while baritone-about-town Bradley Greenwald hugs the corners of Mozart’s famous arias—not to mention a pair of gorgeous sopranos who spend the production draped across the hot rod’s hood. It all adds up to the sexiest close-up opera since Jeune Lune’s 2004 production of Carmen. 612-333-6200; www.jeunelune.org www.jeunelune.org
