Non mi dir
Speaking of unusual angles on Don Giovanni (I'm about to go and see Elke's for a second time), allow me to draw your attention to this production, from De Nederlandse Oper, which I find strangely enchanting. I've linked to the "Non mi dir"; there's a selection of other clips available also, all worth watching. This is one of those very rare occasions when a YouTube clip has made me want to own the DVD immediately. The (fantastic) soprano, incidentally, is one Myrto Papatanasiu, whom Sydneysiders can hear in Beethoven's Missa Solemnis with the Sydney Symphony on the 19th of July. (Or the 18th, if you happen to be a pilgrim.)
