Jacques Offenbach's opera Les contes d'Hoffmann (The Tales of Hoffman) shown in the Teatro alla Scalla

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Lorenzo da Ponte's renowned opera "Don Giovanni" -- based on the legend of lothario Don Juan -- springs to life in this witty production by De Nederlandse Opera under the baton of maestro Ingo Metzmacher. As Don Giovanni (Pietro Spagnoli) pursues numerous women, a recent conquest tries to thwart his efforts. The outstanding cast also includes soprano Charlotte Margiono, bass Mario Luperi and tenor Marcel Reijans.

A passionate count enlists a local barber and jack-of-all-trades to help him woo and wed a quick-witted woman. But it will take all their cunning - as well as some disguises and bribes - to ensure love wins the day. Full of memorable melodies and larger-than-life characters, Rossini’s comic masterpiece is sheer entertainment. Starring Operalia winner Levy Sekgapane as Count Almaviva, this performance from the National Opera of Chile is part of OperaVision’s events celebrating the inaugural World Opera Day on 25 October 2019.

Recording of the Italian opera "Le Nozze di Figaro" ("The Weddings of Figaro") with José Fardilha as Figaro, Rossana Potenza as Sussana and Madelyn Renée Monti as La Contessa di Almaviva, among others. Performed in Rome in 2002 with the direction of Enrico Castiglioni and conducted by Maurizio Picconi.
