Photo by Bill Cooper Revivals of productions can have an interesting effect. Sometimes a stunning production can fail to catch fire second time round, whilst sometimes a rather ordinary production can come into real focus. I caught the first revival of Kasper Holten's production of Mozart's Don Giovanni at the Royal Opera House in 2015 [see my review] and was rather disappointed. So I was fascinated to find my reaction to the latest revival (29 June […]

[…] of the opera. She has seen a lot of productions, and this one is one of her favourites. She first saw the production as a member of the audience in 2014, though it has evolved since then. Apart from Mariusz Kwiecień as Don Giovanni, all the cast this time are new to the production ( Ildebrando D'Arcangelo as Leporello, Rachel Willis-Sørensen as Donna Anna, Pavol Breslik as Don Ottavio, Hrachuhi Bassenz as Donna Elvira, Anatoli Sivko as Masetto and Willard W.
