Always a great piece but who ever thought of putting these two together?? Granted, Don G isn't the gent with the best manners but with this much age difference it's like adding "dirty old man" to the list of his "attributes"! Individually, I love Ms. Graham and Mr. Domingo but together, at least here, something doesn't work for me!
For me, a portrayal of Don Giovanni as a dirty old man would be quite convincing, after all he needed some time to fill his catalogue of conquests and the age difference between him and the Commendatore could be smaller than the one between him and Donna Anna or Zerlina...
Domingo the universal... on every front, at every place... not so admirable. This positive minded great singer thinks he achieve everything. This performance shows all the contrary, public applauses nothing but his fame and, I'd like to suppose so, her accurate performance.
It's more admirable to have a "universal" career than to sit in front of Youtube criticizing, like some Domingo detractors seem to do all day. As for what he has achieved, his achievements are staggering, but they are also continually undermined by, again, people sitting in front of a computer doing the easiest job in the world- criticizing. How DARE he be positive minded? *roll*
Agree with Christine's post! Mr. Domingo can be my Don Giovanni any day.

Can't agree with WLLover01!
I think there is real magic here & who cares about age difference?

Considering Susan Graham is no spring chicken, I fail to even SEE much of a difference, let alone care about it. But what can you do?
