00:06Don Giovanni was absolutely brilliant. He really was amazing.
00:10It's very lively. There's lots, lots to it. Lots of movement, but not too much clutter on the stage.
00:16It was wonderful. I mean, costumes, music, and every singer was strong.
00:22And characterisation was excellent, and acting was excellent. You couldn't fault it.
00:26It's a fantastic production. From a compositional standpoint, Mozart is just fantastic, and Don Giovanni is a real standout.
00:36And Opera Australia has done an absolutely fantastic job of casting this particular opera.
00:42Wonderful. We're thoroughly enjoying it tonight. It's a really good production, and singers are fantastic.
00:49And they delivered just what we hoped and just what we expected. It was lighthearted.
00:56At times, and very tense, and exhilarating at other times. So I think everyone not only sang well, but acted
01:05well.
01:06So it was a good performance from a dramatic point of view as well.
01:09We booked these tickets months in advance from South Africa. It is an amazing show.
01:13When we first saw all the pictures on the internet, it looked incredible. The set, the actors, the singing, it's
01:23absolutely unbelievable.
01:25We love being here. We love Sydney, and we'll be back definitely for the next one.
01:29It was excellent. I just enjoyed it. It was fun, you know, for an opera of that sort of colour.
01:37I think Don Giovanni is a wonderful piece. So I really loved it. And in this environment, it's really great.
01:43So I'm very happy to be here.
01:44Oh, I thought the production was remarkable. I've never seen the ghost so convincingly be a character in the part.
01:53And then suddenly to see Don Giovanni's character disassemble and become deranged, that's just a whole dimension.
02:00I think it's great. It's a great opera for all time.
