Mozart in Asylum Chapel
Music from the Classical and Romantic eras • 14m
Mozart's Don Giovanni is a cold-blooded scoundrel, but his arrogant and hedonistic ways catch up with him after he kills a man and is haunted by the ghost of his sins. This film series was captured in the Asylum Chapel in Peckham. Despite being called an 'asylum', the historic space was never occupied by the criminally insane. Rather, it provided sanctury to those in need, which is perhaps a more fitting home for the likes of Don Giovanni who needed saving from himself.
