In Peter Sellars' evocative 1990 production of Don Giovanni, the setting of Mozart's drama giocoso is transformed from the aristocratic Seville of the mid 17th century to a row of broken down crack houses on a street in East Harlem in the late 1980s, when New York's long running crack-cocaine epidemic had made eerily desolate slums out of vast swaths of the city. It is here that our beloved Giovanni ekes out an existence as a junkie and street person. And yet despite his circumstances, Giovanni has an unmistakeable hunger for life, which we quickly see can manifest itself in brutal rage.

I'm not a big fan of "modern" versions of an opera, but this one worth every second!
The (twin!) Perry brothers as Don Giovanni and Leporello are awesome, as the whole cast.
Wow, wonderful interpretation. I first saw Don Giovanni at the Alte Opera in Frankfurt, Germany, and it was spectacular. This modern version is done beautifully! Thank you for sharing.
superb interpretation , elegant , al tempo and spellbinding.
this tempo is so haunting!! Amazing performances by don Giovanni and leporello
agree
HA HA HA!!!! "Sì eccellente è il vostro cuoco" with McDo meals! I am usually dead set against these "modern" retellings but that line alone makes this worth it! And Don Giovanni throwing the fries at Donna Elvira! Genius! Sellars really caught the idea here.
Sorry, but it was ludicrous then and it's ludicrous now.
@@finylvinyl66 you suck
Really enjoyed this performance. thanks for sharing. Lorraine Hunt so beautiful...
Don Giovanni is one of my favorite operas. I'm hardly an opera snob but I always felt it was something that never translated well into modern times. I watched a version at the Schubert in New Haven that had been designed to take place in the late 1800's with a pistol replacing the sword fight as well and was disappointed. Yet this was a version that I couldn't stop from watching. Granted not quite translated word for word but an interesting production indeed. I think that if you have someone who either never saw or doesn't like opera this would be a great presentation for them to get the story line across. I have to admit the McDonald's food was a pretty funny touch.
Thanks for posting this. It was entertaining and of course the music and performance by the actors and actresses was top notch.
Thank you very much! These
videos are a real treasure!
My favourite, the performances are very close to me, this production means more today than anything I have digested these last 25 years. If the singing is average I put it down to their soul and complicite. Very happy to have been met by this, thank you.
(Gasps) I can't believe it!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Twins, by god! I thought I was going nuts there for a sec.
By far the funniest production ever
What a shame. Maybe one day you'll be able to upload the missing music but thank you anyway, I'm really enjoying this production.
Thank you so much!!! I am so happy that you have uploaded part 2 of 2 now. These productions by Peter Sellars where really revolutionary at the time (early nineties). The singing is average, but the staging is awesome.
It would have totally killed if Elvira had gone off in the end with the Good Twin! This is the hottttest production I have ever seen, and I believe the little embellishment about Leporello wanting Elvira has a lot to do with it. Elvira wants DG, Leporello wants Elvira - and Leporello looks like DG! So damn, having raised the possibility, why did he deprive us by not realizing it? Boo.
muchísimas gracias---
Awesome!
thank you so much, really pleased to see this...btw the idea of the singing in this being 'average' is so wrong. the ensemble work on display throughout is world class - great precision and phrasing in the line, exemplary in fact, especially when you look at the other productions on here...but where's Elvira's 'Mi tradi'?
Excellent question! 'Mi tradi ...' was blocked by RUclips's content filters, so I had to edit it out in order to get the rest of Act II uploaded. In addition to the aria, there's also a recitative missing. In all, about 8 minutes of music had to be edited out.
The "Mi tradi" without the "In quali eccessi" recitative is viewable on youtube at /watch?v=cmAxb2TjJEw
@@grig035 Thank you, grig; INFURIATING!!! But is there any sign of the In quali eccessi anywhere???
@@chriggsiii I've looked for years. It has never turned up.
@@geoffreyriggs6331 Thanks for trying.
Meraviglioso.
forse Samuel Ramey avrebbe potuto farla senza problemi...
Ah yes I found number 3 :)
It is so good to hear Carroll Freeman again. It has been many years since he performed with us at Arizona Opera. Wonder if he still Is singing, teaching, etc.?
I'm not singing nearly as much, but I began directing, which I thoroughly enjoy, and I have also had a wonderful teaching career at the University of Tennessee and now Georgia State University in Atlanta. I am always tickled when my students see me in their music history class in this production...
+Anonymous Thanks so much for the reply. I was on stage in the chorus in Lakme and also Cosi Fan Tutti. It was a pleasure to interact with you and also to see your career progress. Am now in Boise and work with Opera Idaho and the Boise Philharmonic Master Chorale. Keep up the good work there in Atlanta.
Did Mozart write such a Coda as that shown here?
Good question, and my guess would be no, in which case WTF 37:09 - 37:34 ??? The Ottavio/Anna duet and ~5 lines after that: GONE! What a disappointment, given the impeccable musical execution in this production in general.

I can't believe nobody has a problem with this.
I do. It's a travesty.
Dont ask me to explain, I can’t. Normally I really don’t like « modern retelling » in opera, they seem either farcical or just misplaced. But somehow this one « works » for me. It doesn’t mock the original (except where it should, like juxtaposing the idea of a sumptuous meal with crass fast food), it just transposes it. And the singers/actors really do seem to be taking it seriously and earnestly. It just « clicks » for me.
most of us don't have big sticks up our asses
....ma perché Don Giovanni si deve sempre smutandare??? per carità,il fisico merita...immagino i cantanti del passato a fare una roba del genere....con panze di fuori e tutto....
I'm sorry but what in the would could possess Don Giovanni to strip down to his underpants in front of a small child. What is going on?
Patrick Takata Thank heavens I found your comment. Regardless of the child....WTF?! I know every word in this scene and maybe my Italian's not the greatest but I dont think "Verrai tu a cenar meco" means "Take off your pants and come to hell with me". lol
Oh can understand this scene very well. The thing he goes to hell for is probably "stripping down to his underpants in front of a small child" - in your words. Or in those of Da Ponte: "...ma passion' predominante é la giovin' principiante..."
If I may : Don Giovanni is a CREEP. I know we are used to thinking of him as a debonair, suave seducer, but he can be played other ways, too. Byrn Terfel did an excellent portrayal of him as a sort of precursor to Harvey Weinstein, using his wealth and power not to seduce but virtually to force his conquests into submitting, and it worked extremely well (you can find excerpts on RUclips), and making the Don virtually a pedophile is, I think, not stretching it too far, either.
@@xbqchm BS, la giovin' principiante this is not a 5 year old boy. It's rather a debutante.
@@donosodemaistre2764 "principiante" in Italian means "beginner" so basically Da Ponte is telling us that D.G. loves those girls who are beginners in the art of love, aka virgins.
