He explains that these two characters hold different attitudes toward women. Don Juan's traumatic past led to his darker side, whereas Casanova is portrayed as a genuine gentleman who loves women sincerely and is reciprocated in kind.
"Casanova, as you see onstage, also had various enemies, but more of a political nature. He is a highly respected individual with many talents. He brought numerous ideas to various important families across Europe," Schiaretti explains.
In addition, Casanova marks Schiaretti's return to the Italian musical stage after a 13-year absence during which he appeared in numerous international productions. He stated that the play captures Italian vibes, passion and culture.
"I think it is a great connection with who I really am inside and what I could actually express with the show.
"I'm really happy that I could be back in my country, and at the same time to be kind of an ambassador to promote Italian art and musicals in China," Schiaretti says.
