Mozart
Don Giovanni
The legendary Joan Sutherland takes on the role of Donna Anna in this star-studded broadcast, displaying the full range of the character’s feelings, from fury to mourning to revenge. Sutherland’s singing perfectly balances floating legato lines with fiery coloratura. James Morris is the libertine of the title, a ruthless man in the guise of a handsome, charismatic aristocrat. Gabriel Bacquier sings his servant, Leporello, and Julia Varady is the besotted Donna Elvira.
