In November 2010 I started to make seeing an opera a regular event. Don Giovanni by Mozart, performed by the Glyndebourne company was the choice for this year.
It was quite a shift from last year's Cosi Fan Tutte, but in terms of expanding the opera experience; it's a classic! It was a more modern dressed performance than it was originally and in an ever changing central box shaped set which was intriguing and like a giant Rubik's cube.
Several fiesty women are taken and ravished and used and dumped by the central character, and though I'm not a righteous feminist I still think he got off lightly at the end for his scoundrelous womanising ways! I guess I see hell-fire as less intimidating than what I'd do to him!! :D
