EXTRACT | DON GIOVANNI 'Don Giovanni! A cenar teco m'invitasti' - Royal Opera House
Музыка
It’s important to be careful what you wish for! When Don Giovanni (Mariusz Kwiecień) invited the stone statue of his murder victim, the Commendatore (Wiliard W. White), to dinner, little did he expect him to actually turn up.
In this final scene from The Royal Opera’s Don Giovanni, Leporello (Ildebrando D'Arcangelo) and the Commendatore try to persuade the Don to repent for his sins or else spend eternity in hell.
Streamed live on OperaVision on 12 July 2018 at 20:00 CET and for 1 month: bit.ly/DonGiovanniEN

Amazing singing and acting. Also, I LOVE that projection on the wall throughout the entire scene! It's so interesting and original... Especially that last disappearing door.

Ella Voslinsky you can give an interpretation ... after the last disappearing door nothing exist, he is literally in nowhere land
I LOVED this production. I was so lucky to see it...TWICE!
This is the same production we had here in Houston in 2019. It was truly jaw-dropping. The electronic board depicted the entire Don Giovanni (Don Juan) story in such a mesmerizing manner.
Visually astonishing!
Amazing. What a tension between the both of them.
Mariusz is amazing in this role - also, I don't often want to hug Giovanni, but he kind of needs it in this production.

The performances were great but I am not a fan of the production for this scene at all. It's so much better with all the fire and brimstone - have flames and pyrotechnics, show him being dragged into hell, show the demons, show him interacting with the statue. This was such a chilly, technology swamped production.

It was a nice touch though that the names of those he killed or seduced went up on the wall. (At least that is how it looks.)

I could have seen more added, like angels surrounding the statue to emphasize where he was, and then demons and fire appearing below. The technology could easily have projected them in, too. As it was, the bad Don was swallowed up in darkness, in a spare treatment. Maybe the budget was lacking to do it up any more lushly (someone would have had to create the graphics and effects).
Még nem láttam "egyben" az egész Don Giovanni-t...de drámai volt ez a rész...A hang? Szuper az énekeseknél!!!
Ah funny I attended this specific performance
Dammi la mano…. Give me the hand…. And he is 3 meters above ahahaha Jesus Christ directors….
"Dammi la mano in pegno!" "Eccola!" "Where? I don't see it." "That's because you're upstairs, and I'm downstairs." "Well, come up here and let's shake hands." "No, you come down here and we'll shake hands. This is my house, my rules." "I can't come downstairs, I'm a statue or something." "Well, somehow you made it all the way here." "Get up here and shake hands in pledge!" "No, you come down here, and what are you doing in my upstairs area anyway? I invited you to supper, not to the bedroom."

I guess in this interpretation it was a chicken-out by the bad Don (he wouldn't accept an invitation to heaven, leaving him with nowhere to go but hell, which surrounded him in darkness). This is ironic since he had just sang that he wasn't going to be a coward. Who knows what the hypothetical alternative scene ending would have looked like? Don Giovanni floats up to the statue and they exit into scenes of glory? Since that didn't happen, and there weren't any other signs but the dialog that the Commendatore was an angel from heaven, it could be confusing.
Mariusz, un grand Don Giovanni ! Mais je préfère Luca Pisaroni dans le rôle de Léporello !
We recently had this production return to Houston earlier this month. The cast was great and it was all beautifully sung, but I have to say I was not a fan of the perhaps overly technological production design, and this very austere take on the finale. Still, I would not have missed it for the world.
Grandes de cantantes para una horrible producción
Kwiecien is overrated. Better Maltmann or Rusicki

Rucinski is a different type of voice, difficult to compare. Both great! Kwiecen is incomparably better than Maltmann though!

@@franzleiermann4955 I like his musicality too. The tone is beautiful but I prefer Kwiecen but I think that the big difference is the flexibility and the technical resources. For me Maltmann sounds great in a limited Opera repertoire and I'm art song but if the tessitura lies too high in his register, he starts to struggle a little bit.
