Dunkle Filmszene mit John Malkovich in historischer Kostümierung, umgeben von Frauen, Filmtitel Casanova Variations und Namen der Hauptdarsteller in gelber und weißer Schrift auf schwarzem Hintergrund

Mozart meets Malkovich meets Casanova: in a nutshell, that is the essence of Casanova Variations. With the visual power of cinema, the intimacy of theatre and the effortlessness of opera music, Giacomo Casanova’s story is now being brought to the big screen, with the only actor who can embody the legendary Venetian with such natural ease in the lead role: John Malkovich.
