Mozart: Don Giovanni from Arena di Verona

Mozart’s Don Giovanni, in the beautiful staging by legendary Franco Zeffirelli is a spectacle with a strong aesthetising component, a feast for the eyes.

In this production “Zeffirelli returns to a representative Super classic line, renewing the complex mechanisms of almost all his other productions” (Il corriere musicale) with “beautiful classic costumes by Maurizio Millenotti and lights by Paolo Mazzon” (L'ape musicale).

Carlos Álvarez is “of beautiful voice” (GP Opera) and “presumably todays best Don Giovanni” (L'ape musicale) while “Irina Lungu is one of the best lyric sopranes” (L'ape musicale). “Donna Elvira, being sung by Maria José Siri was clearly and advantageously represented by her mellow and beguiling voice.” (MTG Lirica)
