He Broke My Heart; I'll Sing (and Sue) Now on the docket: Donna Anna, Zerlina and 2,065 Jane Does v. the Estate of Don Giovanni. The Don, summoned from the underworld, faced his accusers in a Hilton hotel ballroom-turned-courtroom on Friday afternoon. "The wretched man is right there!" Donna Elvira cried, pointing to her seducer, who wore a sleek suit and sunglasses. Then, launching into her aria "Ah!...

The two-performance run of Mozart's "Don Giovanni" has wrapped up at the Cowell Theatre on a dock at Fort Mason and the mostly glowing reviews are in.

Chief among them was interacting onstage with the genius clown...

Though the picture above of the San Francisco Bay in late July looks straight out of Wagner's "The Flying Dutchman," in truth it was the setting at Fort Mason for rehearsals of the Merola production of Mozart's "Don Giovanni" at the Cowell Theatre. My entrance into the beauty of opera was through a production of "Don Giovanni" I saw at the San Francisco Opera in the mid-1970s with a cast I don't even...

By Andrew Clark [Financial Times, 29 July 2008] Salzburg treats Don Giovanni in the same way that Mozart's protagonist treats women. There's an insatiable lust - the festival has gone through five productions in the past 20 years - but each is quickly discarded. That's not surprising. In spite of importing the best talent money can buy, the composer's birthplace has seen a poor run of interpretations....

Claus Guth, that gloomy, silly man, did it again: after his Mozart/ Da Ponte Strindberg Nozze di Figaro two summers ago in Salzburg, all desaturated colors, rotting moldy walls, and flower-busting peasant girls in "Ricevete, O Padroncina", here's his Don...

When Mozart placed a loud, dark, bone-chilling chord of D minor in the first bars of “Don Giovanni,” he set a new precedent for operatic curtain-raisers: instead of charming his listeners into paying attention, he would stun them into submission, with intimations of the awakening of the dead . . .

I have a few operas that I love love love to death: Mozart's big four (Don Giovanni, The Marriage of Figaro, The Magic Flute, and Cosi fan Tutti); Verdi's Don Carlo; Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin. I have others that I'm fond of and as opportunity arises I try to get into new (to me) works. It is challenging to learn a new opera, it takes time and patience--and sometimes just luck. I was listening to...
