Superb In All Respects,

This review is from: Mozart: Don Giovanni - Royal Opera House [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
This is the most completely satisfying video production of Don Giovanni I have encountered to date. Allow me first to assuage concerns regarding the sound on this Blu-Ray disc -- succinctly put, the LPCM 5.1 sound is impeccable. The singing, acting, conducting, design, stage direction, and video direction converge ideally with each other to create a jewel of operatic performance. The result is an as near perfect production of Don Giovanni as I have ever seen (N.B. The search for such a well-balanced production of Don Giovanni, either in live performance in opera houses around the world or in video productions from film to Beta to VHS to Laserdisc to DVD, has been the "Holy Grail" of my opera enjoyment for the past thirty years. I believe I have found it.) I am heartened to think that this production on Blu-Ray may provide newcomers to Mozart and opera in general with an elegant and superb introduction to both the composer and the medium.

Great in all respects,

This review is from: Mozart: Don Giovanni - Royal Opera House [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
This wasn't the Don Giovanni I expected to buy, but when I saw the cast I changed my mind. It didn't disappoint. The cast is superb from top to bottom. We particularly enjoyed Kyle Ketelsen who, in addition to having a fantastic voice, showed himself to be a very funny comic actor. The Orchestra is very cleanly recorded. (We were listening to the stereo soundtrack, but via HDMI). Highly recommended.

Disappointing sound,

This review is from: Mozart: Don Giovanni - Royal Opera House [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Very disappointed of the sound. When I buy a pricey Blu-Ray disc from Opus Arte I expect exceptional sound quality. That is not the case with this disc. Regrettably anything else from the production to the singers becomes kind of irrelevant without good sound. The overture started very good. The orchestra is vibrant and with full sound. But once the singers appear you start looking for the sound, looking for anything wrong with the audio systems. The problem is the disc itself. What a pity!
