Oh hey! #onthisday in 1787 was the #premier of Mozart's #DonGiovanni! We're not sure what's spookier, The Commendatore's ghost, dragging Don G to hell for being such a dick, or how big a dick Don G was.
Had SO MUCH FUN talking about #composer Kevin Puts' #opera #elizabethcree last week - if you haven't checked out Episode 47 head to our website. Very on-brand #mystery #thriller for #spookyseason.
