Well, I wanted to get this off my chest first-off: IMDb makes it hard for users. Carlos Alvarez, the wonderful Spanish baritone who sings Don Giovanni here, is listed as Carlos Alvarez VII in the database; it took me a quarter hour to locate him and find this video to review. I can't believe that the other Carlos Alvarezes are that important they need to be billed over the singer.
But enough of that. We have a fine production here, albeit in the cavernous venue of the old Roman amphitheatre in Verona, big enough for twenty horses at least, floats and banners, and completely lacking in intimacy. Watch it for the singers and the costumes which are splendid.
