Monumentalidad y grandes voces encienden la nueva temporada del Teatro Real.

David McVicar's dark and gothic Don Giovanni is revived in Sydney, with stand-out performances from Luca Micheletti as an unapologetic and dashing Don, and Eleanor Lyons as a magnificent Donna Anna

Sir David McVicar's unassuming production fails to engage with the political side of Verdi's masterpiece, despite good conducting by Nicola Luisotti and some good singing by a solid cast. 

Both vocally and instrumentally the performance  was a high-class one

Even given a routine revival, McVicar's staging has much to recommend it, returning the opera to its literary roots. 

Interviewed at the time of this production's first outing, McVicar declared that “Entertainment is not a dirty word”. His Giulio Cesare remains a hugely entertaining opera production.

Anna Netrebko und Piotr Beczała brillieren unter dem eleganten Dirigat von Evelino Pidò. Ein Pflichttermin für Diven-Verehrer und Freunde opulenter Ausstattung.

A strong, compelling staging – coherent in aesthetic and philosophy, if a little restrained in performance. 

This performance marked Sir Mark Elder’s debut with the company and, beginning with the overture, he offered his individual interpretation of the score. He had an enormous range of dynamics and his tempi varied widely with the emotional values of each scene.
