Performer: Lucas Meachem

Asmik Grigorian's astonishing acting and subtle vocalism make for a promising Met debut in this revival of Anthony Minghella's lacquered staging. 

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!” 

There are plenty of vocal thrills in Sir David McVicar's new production of Giordano's revenge thriller at the Metropolitan Opera.

Moshe Leiser and Patrice Caurier’s production has undergone a year of expert scrutiny before this well-sung revival. 

Olivier Py's new production at La Scala is inspired by art depicting the Temptation of St Anthony, but turns out to be disappointingly tame.
