I have always known Don Giovanni is one of the greatest operas but feel I've never fully appreciated it. This was an opportunity to get to know it much better. With nice clear subtitles I could really follow the story well and so appreciate the music much better understanding the context. And it certainly has lots of wonderful music. It may not be the greatest story in opera but it is now a lot more coherent for me and makes a lot more sense. The singing is excellent, the acting good and all the music well performed. Also the filming was well done. A very good evenings entertainment.
