Review: Don Giovanni

As a change from worldbuilding posts and interviews with specialists, here’s a post about an opera I attended this weekend.

Mozart’s Don Giovanni was first performed at the Prague Estates Theatre in 1787. I’ve been to over a dozen live productions (including at the Prague Estates, although considerably later than 1787!) and watched maybe twenty different recordings on video/DVD.

Some were produced in a historical style…

Period costume performancewhile others had a more modern setting.
