Hibla Gerzmava

The matriarchal clan led by gorgeous Margarita enters a turbulent period when her son loses his beloved fiancée. Using the structure of a repetitive ritual, the action spans years but takes place mostly during the annual gatherings of Margarita's extraordinary family in their mansion on New Year's Eve. Margarita believes in the magical 13th hour that can break the eternal circle of repetition, defeat death and bring her much-awaited love.

A furious sorceress seeks revenge after her husband takes the children, leaves the country and finds himself a younger wife.

Esta ópera es muy oportuna dada su ubicación en la Europa feudal antes de la Revolución Francesa, donde el crimen cometido por los ricos y poderosos quede impune. Don Giovanni, a Lech notorio y violador, intenta llevar fuera de la virginal Donna Anna en contra de su voluntad, y mata a su anciano padre a sangre fría después de que él está atrapado. Sin embargo, Giovanni se escapa con su identidad oculta por una máscara, y Donna Anna se llena con un ansia de venganza contra el atacante enmascarado, e incluso rechaza los avances de la clase Ottavio que realmente se preocupa por ella.
