La producción que triunfó con la English National Opera y la LA Opera llega felizmente a la ciudad condal, significando a la vez el estreno estatal de esta obra.

Kasper Holten’s much travelled and spectacular Don Giovanni gets a fresh and lively remount at Toronto’s Four Seasons Centre from a young cast headed up by Gordon Bintner. 

Lucas Meachem’s portrayal suggests a paraphrase of what another Hollywood Don Juan, Errol Flynn in 1949, said to his Leporello in excusing his escapades. “My dear friend, there’s a little bit of Don Giovanni in every man, and since I am Don Giovanni, there must be more of it in me!”

The third in the composer’s “portrait” trilogy finally arrives at The Met in Phelim McDermott's spectacular production. 

Philip Glass' hypnotic opera returns in Phelim McDermott's outstanding production that respects the solemn, statuesque grandeur and epic ritual of the score. 

Phelim McDermott tackles Philip Glass's ancient Egypt in a production that's totally absorbing visually and aurally, with a star performance by Anthony Roth Costanzo.

Kasper Holten's new production fails to convince about the alleged virtues of Wagner's outcast comic opera.
