Wiener Phil/Eschenbach - Mozart:Don Giovanni

The first D minor chords thunder ominously from the orchestra pit, while on the stage, the entrance hall of an elegant hotel appears, symbolic of a place of non-committal encounters. Luxury seeps from every pore of the stairs, galleries and mysterious doors - the perfect place for Don Giovanni's exercises in seduction. Director Sven-Eric Bechtolf pulls off a brilliant coup with the high aesthetics of his intrigue, a masterful parody of the everything is possible of our time - flanked by an ensemble of exquisite vocal talents. Ildebrando D'Arcangelo, testosterone-charged Latin lover, amounts with his splendid timbre and his stunningly virile magnetism to what must be an ideal realization of Don Giovanni (Neue Z�rcher Zeitung). With his finely balanced voice, Luca Pisaroni as an intellectually bespectacled Leporello. The powerful bass of Commendatore Tomasz Konieczny is a true sensation (Frankfurter Rundschau). The female roles are all realized with elegantly lean voices: Anett Fritsch highly dramatic as Elvira, the Donna Anna of Lenneke Ruitens supple in her vocal line and Valentina Naforni?a a wonderful Zerlina who radiates strong vocal sensuality (Opernnetz). Special feature: Full length real-time BEHIND THE SCENES. Package: Luxury slipcase in Salzburg Festival serial design.
