Opera review: Wine, women and Mozart in ?Don Giovanni?

The time is ripe for con artists on Madison stages. At the Bartell Theatre, Alexa Vere de Vere stalks young artists on the brink of fame, flattering and robbing them in OUT!Cast Theatre?s ?As Bees in Honey Drown.? Alexa?s predecessor, the great seducer himself, is at work a mile further east on the UW-Madison campus. Don Giovanni leers and laughs like a frat boy from the Music Hall stage in University Opera?s spring production, which runs once more on Tuesday night with an alternate cast.
