There is the wonderful story of Don Giovanni being performed at the Wexford Opera Festival in Ireland and at the end of this scene where the Don descends into Hell, the stage lift sticks and the music ends with half of the Don still visible. The singer demanded that the lift be raised up, and they try again and the orchestra, chorus, Commendatore and Leporello, whip up the wonderful music and all sing their parts again and the Don descends once again and the lift sticks. When the music ends, an Irish voice at the back of the theatre shouts out "Heaven be praised, Hell is Full".
Pure music. Kinda like Mozart himself. Dude had a feeling for music that many (not all, but many) modern performers fail to capture. I tip a hat to people like Imogen Heap, Vienna Teng, and even Buckethead for making actually amazing music.
See how Don Giovanni maintains his defiance until he takes the Commander's hand. Then the power of God's judgment is revealed and he can't uphold his illusion of courage. His pride collapses but it is too late because he never would have regretted his sins without the experience of absolute fear. Atonement is out of reach the moment he realizes his need for it.
I grew up taking classical music which I used to think was so lame and now I realize how lucky I was! It has been the joy of my entire lifetime. We need to keep classical music alive forever. It has a wonder and a depth that all future generations should be able to experience.
My mother used to drive me nuts with her classical music. Many years later I am a patron of the local Symphony Orchestra for many years. Mama has long since passed, but I know she is pleased to have given me the bug. Mozart is a rock star!
@Shachar Har-Shuv Nah, Commendatore and Leporello are almost always cast as basses. Donnie is written for a baritone but can be cast as high as lower tenors and can be handled by lower basses.
Listening to the finale of Mozart's Don Giovanni, we have the confirmation that we are faced with an immortal piece. It produces very current sensations, with notes and rhythms that could have been written today. The apotheosis of music and - at the same time - the beginning of a new era.
The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils; The motions of his spirit are dull as night And his affections dark as Erebus: Let no such man be trusted. Mark the music. (The Merchant of Venice, 5.1.91-7)
L'un des sommets absolus de l'oeuvre de Mozart, et de toute la musique. Une impressionnante progression vers l'inexorable. Une scène qui marque même si on se sent détaché, en dehors du drame.
je mets un like pour qu'un commentaire en français émerge et je suis d'accord avec toi sur le fond. Quand je vois les adaptations contemporaines qu'on se tape à Paris ces 5 dernières années j'ai envie de vomir !
Bonsoir, je cherche cette version qui pour moi est une des meilleures interprétations pouvez-vous me donner le nom des interprètes et de la symphonie. Merci beaucoup. Cordialement.
@@mryellow8690 Il me semble que c'est la version du Met en 2011. Štefan Kocán est le Commandeur, Mariusz Kwiecień Don Giovanni, Luca Pisaroni Leporello. Il est possible de louer la retransmission sur le site du Met, si comme moi, vous êtes curieux de voir l'intégralité de la mise en scène.
Don Giovanni est d'emblée une oeuvre magistrale dans laquelle aucun espoir n'est possible pour le terrible séducteur ! ce qui conduit Don Giovanni sur les sentiers larges et spacieux de la perdition c'est l'orgueil, l'arrogance et le caractère impardonnable de ses actes : c'est un manipulateur conscient de l'être et son refus de toute rédemption est indissociable de sa vanité ! c'est une oeuvre majeur que le mélomane se doit d'écouter attentivement !
This scene gave me chills. The directing was superb. The acting great. Singing phenomenal. Luca's Leporello offered very much needed comic relief at the "he can't, he's busy" part.
Je suis d'accord, j'aurais bien aimé voir la version complète de ce spectacle. Cette version du Commandeur est tout simplement effrayantes et les décors formidables.

I saw Don Giovanni in London in 2022 for the first time. The production was brilliant and I was on the edge of my seat throughout the entirety of Act 2.
It's the greatest second half of anything ever created -- the way things fall apart so perfectly, one collapse after another. I think Figaro is the greatest first half of anything, and in a way they form a duo, to me.

I've always thought it was weird for the Commendatore to say "Cos’hai?" ("What's wrong?") after Don Giovanni complains about the hand grip. If I was directing, I'd give that line to Leporello.
@@NewMusicWeekly Leporello would say "cos'avete" instead of "cos'hai" to Don Giovanni, to ask him "what is wrong." Which wouldn't rhyme with the response "che gelo è questo mai." So one would have to change the libretto.
Emma Iadanza I wish I saw this live. The story behind this amazing opera is so beyond beautiful. This was such an important opera for Mozart for some personal reasons ( you'll find out if you study his life). This is so far the best performance of this wonderful opera. Love it

In Australia, it's always ended with a silly sextet where the rest of them sing about what they are going to do now without him. Would love to see it just end like this.
Excellent ! Un affrontement sans pitié, voix de basse et de baryton à la note près ! Merci pour cette publication, nous en manquons cruellement de cette qualité en France, sans parler des mise en scène ternes, tristes...

Si l’Opéra de Paris continue ainsi, il coulera. Il nous reste heureusement des documents et vidéos splendides d’une époque magnifique. Et c’est une ancienne Danseuse qui écrit...😢
This is the best video version I've seen on this scene... flawless. I saw the opera a couple years ago in Toronto and it was stage badly... no ghost, no demons... and Don didn't even disappear through the floor boards, he was still on the floor in the next scene where they the people are saying,,, where is Don... incredibly unspooky... and near halloween..
The Canadian Opera Company is a disgrace. Half of their stagings are garbage, and now they have gotten into rewriting/restaging librettos because they're politically incorrect. (The latest casualty is Turandot--there are some articles about it. They also managed to turn Seraglio from a comedy into a fairly dark drama.) The singing and orchestra are finel, but the stagings are so hit and miss now. If you happen to get this message, Opera Atelier is playing it for a few more performances and I highly recommend it! (THEIR only fault is that they use historical instruments, which I don't like, and the conductor goes through some things at breakneck speed, destroying the drama in this particular scene. But I guess nothing is perfect.)
When Beethoven travelled to Vienna around 1786, he met Mozart briefly. More did not come off the meeting because Beethoven was only in Vienna for a few weeks before having to return to Bonn due to his ill mother. But also, Mozart's wife was sick at the time and Mozart was thick deep in composing "Don Giovanni" so the maestro didn't have the time/energy to spare. Beethoven likely later saw "Don Giovanni" performed in Bonn.

Спасибо. Я благодарна за возможность посмотреть отрывок из замечательной оперы Дон Жуан. Потрясающее и внушительное исполнение арий Дон Жуана и Командора.
Wow! How have I not seen this version before?!
What a fantastic rendition!
Interpretazione magistrale; scena resa in modo splendido. Grandi cantanti e grandi attori. Bravi, bravi, bravi
What a powerfull bass!
Stefan Kocan, another great Slovak opera singer better known worldwide rather than in his beautiful homecountry Slovakia. We are proud of him. Bravo!
henry de bourbon why is that?
Trop fort. A chaque fois cette scène et cette fabuleuse musique fichent les jetons.
la mise en scene est fabuleuse
👍
My favorite of the six versions I've watched on YT.
That is exactly how this scene should look!
Absolutely spectacular.
Wow..... What a Performance... The stage was just unbelievable! Who thought of that. Bravo!
a really great performance.
Best performance of the song, period.
Absolute
Lo que más disfruté de este vídeo, además del efecto del fuego y las voces del coro de demonios, fue la ovación del público. ¡Maravillosos los aplausos!
Listen to how the strings are going crazy in this scene. Incredible!!!!!!!
Also listen to those hellish trombones!
Tellement magnifique !... Quel malheur que Kwiecien ait mis fin à sa carrière...
