Don Giovanni is totally an absolute bad boy in its day, love the way he met his creepy end. This is one of my favorite operas and the presentation is so much fun and well explained. If you're a beginner to opera I highly recommend this.

Thank you 🙏🏻. Bust read the opera for a seminar and your little video definitely helped putting things into perspective 👌🏻

[heqaib]

More fun & better than reading the usual opera summary. Love it! (I have seen this. Opera dozens of times too.) I hope this method of explanation will make opera more understandable for a broader audience - thanks 😋.

Isn't this where "Don Juan Triumphant" was borrowed from?

There was a scene in the ALW Musical, "The Phantom of the Opera, " where the Phantom demanded the opera house to perform "his" Opera and have Christine as the star.

In the Don Juan Triumphant opera, Don Juan tells his friend about his plan to trick the young maiden, played by Christine, to sleep with him by having himself disguised as the servant and his friend as the master.

Thank you for pronouncing the Italian words right🙏🏻🙏🏻 like Dónna, not dOOnaAa

first: in 8:56 in my opinion, don giovanni doesn't freak out in that scene at all, I belive that it is a very important point that don giovanni doesn't get scared at all until he relizes his mistakes and that he is being sent to hell and it is too late to fix

secondly: why does he just escape in the end and reapear in a tree? what is that huge hand from the sky? he doesn't shake the hand of god, just the hand of the statue, the entire opera and especially the finale are aultred and changed so much that the plot is completly different, and I really dislike them giving everyone very modern clothes

I really liked how you explained it and that it was pretty much acurate, but this production is really bad

Based on a Spanish play by Tirso de Molina.

Fantastico! How can I send you the italian translation?

[ttt]

In the end, it should been, instead of throwing him to hell, he should been turned to a statue 🗿. Like an old Arabic story, who looks back, , during an event in the story, , be comes a statue 😂
