Title: A waste
Review: Don Giovanni is by far one of my favorite operas, so when I saw this DVD I bought it immediately. Big disappointing. The video quality is old-fashioned TV, illumination too dark. The most disappointing part was not technical, but artistic; in the scene when the Comendatore comes to Don Giovanni's house (my favorite scene, I was astonished when I first saw it in Amadeus) the Comendatore is NOT THERE, just his voice. It lost all its impact when you see Don Giovanni talking to the audience. People usually wait two hours for this scene, and then it comes THIS? Sometimes originality is not better. I suggest to keep listening a CD version of the opera, and use your imagination for the rest.
