hello opera tumblr im new here and dont know all too much abt opera but i really enjoyed a production of don giovanni that i havent seen anyone mention so i wanted to bring it to more ppl :pp
come to the 2005 teatro real production we have
beautiful set
cool nebulously 1800s-1900s costumes
anachronisms where it works. for example don giovanni wears sunglasses sometimes because of fucking course he would
solid cast especially leporello
(^ like ohmygod... i was about to click off this production to watch the one with samuel ramey but then he started singing madamina and knocked it out of the park so hard that i watched the whole prod. im lorenzo regazzos biggest fan rn)
they dont do that weird thing where they make donna anna be in love with don giovanni
they actually portray donna anna well overall. there’s the right balance of "im in mourning" and "i want revenge" which im given to understand is a rarity
did i mention the sets were cool asf
also they make leporello wear this
its available on youtube here with english subs :]
