Kasper Holten shifts the emphasis from Don Giovanni’s sex life into a darker place, showing Giovanni’s womanizing as an attempt to stave off his own mortality. Each woman he seduces represents a life he could have had. Though it is a dark piece, Holten handles it all with a light touch. Led by conductor Nicola Luisotti, the superb cast features Mariusz Kwiecien as Don Giovanni, Alex Esposito and French soprano Véronique Gens. ‘‘…a cast that can’t be bettered today…demands to be seen.’’ Seen and Heard Int’l\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart\u003cbr\u003e  DON GIOVANNI\u003cbr\u003e  (Blu-ray Disc Version)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  Don Giovanni - Mariusz Kwiecie?\u003cbr\u003e  Leporello - Alex Esposito\u003cbr\u003e  Donna Anna - Malin Byström\u003cbr\u003e  Commendatore - Alexander Tsymbalyuk\u003cbr\u003e  Don Ottavio - Antonio Poli\u003cbr\u003e  Donna Elvira - Véronique Gens\u003cbr\u003e  Zerlina - Elizabeth Watts\u003cbr\u003e  Masetto - Dawid Kimberg\u003cbr\u003e  Donna Elvira’s Maid - Josephine Arden\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  Royal Opera Chorus\u003cbr\u003e  (chorus master: Renato Balsadonna)\u003cbr\u003e  Royal Opera House Orchestra\u003cbr\u003e  Nicola Luisotti, conductor\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  Kasper Holten, stage director\u003cbr\u003e  Es Devlin, set designer\u003cbr\u003e  Anja Vang Kragh, costume designer\u003cbr\u003e  Bruno Poet, lighting designer\u003cbr\u003e  Signe Fabricius, choreographer \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  Recorded live at the Royal Opera House, February 2014 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  Bonus:\u003cbr\u003e  - Introductions: Don Giovanni’s Women\u003cbr\u003e  - Director’s Commentary\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  Picture format: 1080i High Definition\u003cbr\u003e  Sound format: LPCM 2. 0 \/ DTS 5.1\u003cbr\u003e  Region code: 0 (worldwide)\u003cbr\u003e  Subtitles: English, French, German, Japanese, Korean\u003cbr\u003e  Running time: 187 mins\u003cbr\u003e  No. of Discs: 1 (Blu-ray)\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Opus Arte","offers":[{"title":"Blu-Ray","offer_id":49607839351064,"sku":"809478071525","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/2778485.jpg?v=1777683232","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/mozart-don-giovanni-12","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
