    "The life in the day of the devilishly attractive Don ... Death and damnation have never come dressed
    in such heavenly music as in this deadly serious comedy."
  • Glyndebourne
    "Through a dazzling mixture of comedy and drama, Don Giovanni follows its hero on his spiral
    of depravity to the depths of human degradation."
  • Los Angeles Opera
    "One of literature's oldest archetypes, the character of Don Juan... created to warn man
    of the dangers of unchecked sensuality."
  • Cape Town Opera
    "Their Don Juan represents a thoroughly modern character: he is expansive, out to enjoy the world, abounding in self-confidence, shrugging of every form of authority, opposing every higher order, but, at the same time, he is, above all, seeking deliverance from his passion."
    
  • Arizona Opera
    "Even the flames of passion can't outshine the fires of hell."
