Overview
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Don Giovanni remains one of the most profound works of operatic art, often cited as the pinnacle of musical drama. This Großer Querschnitt (Grand Selection) offers a masterful overview of the opera, capturing its most iconic arias, duets, and choruses. Recorded in Berlin in 1960, this performance brings together an outstanding cast, including Hermann Prey as Don Giovanni, Fritz Wunderlich as Don Ottavio, and Elisabeth Grümmer as Donna Anna, under the precise direction of Hans Zanotelli.
This production highlights Mozart's genius in blending humor, tragedy, and moral depth. The timeless story of seduction, betrayal, and divine retribution is brought to life by an ensemble of world-class vocalists, supported by the Berliner Opernchor and the Großes Opernorchester.
