However, the good times do not last long as Casanova finds himself entangled in a political conspiracy. In order to save his beloved Venice, he must engage in a thrilling showdown with the ambitious schemers.

"Casanova is a perpetual Peter Pan — never aging, always creating endless fun in the most clever ways. He is a magician, but more importantly, a fighter of life with countless followers," says Gian Marco Schiaretti, who plays Casanova.

Schiaretti is well-known to audiences for his outstanding performances in the musicals Notre-Dame de Paris and Don Juan.

According to his description, people often confuse the two roles of Casanova and Don Juan, but they are actually very different characters.

"Don Juan is a myth; we do not have actually typical geographical or historical or realistic literature that can describe the existence of Don Juan. Casanova is a real character we are telling onstage, a pretty important three years in the life of Casanova," Schiaretti says.
