Mozart: Don Giovanni from Liceu Act 2 Finale Part 3

[patriciohampar]

debe ser la peor versión de la historia!!!!!!!!!

es una puesta espantosa!!!!!!!!!!!! cómo los cantantes y el público permiten esto????

y con dinero del municipio!!! qué pérdida!!!! y que fracaso. Bieito, estás loco?????????

[MaximusTenor]

a chi serve tutto questo? solo a bieito e al direttore artistico del liceu per sperperare denaro e distruggere l'opera, anziché valorizzarla.

Non sono i personaggi a uccidere Don Giovanni, ma bieito e matabosch (matateatro, altro che bosch), coppia infernale. Poveri ignoranti.

Muy buena producción, hay que poner a los clásicos de nuevo un poco en la tierra, los que tendrían que leer un poco a Peter Brook, es muy divertida y muy viva.

¿que se gana haciendo la misma puesta que se viene haciendo hace casi 300 años? es lindo ver de vez en cuando una puesta con los vestuarios de época, pero sinceramente para mi no le agregan nada, son una del montón. Las puestas quedadas en el tiempo tienen para mi algo de necrofilia que no suma nada y por momentos resta.

[sas147741]

@sas147741 Lo único que se le puede reprochar a esta puesta es los cantantes, salvo Simon Keenlyslide que siempre es magnifico la mayoría de los cantantes están por debajo del nivel de los roles que interpretan, el Comendatore muy pero muy tapado por la orquesta sin el poder de voz que el papel requiere.

Debe haber sido raro para los cantantes estar de Jogging arriba del escenario jaja

[johnwillattplant]

I don't know if I 'like' it or not. It's very, very disturbing. And Don Giovanni should be disturbing. Should it be this ugly? In any case it's very alive, and it emerges from ddep reflection .  And no one can kill the music.

[sas147741]

@johnwillattplant Agree!

[MmeFigaro]

something very strange happened. We always laugh and be happy in the musical moment "questo è il fin di chi fa mal" because justice comes finally. But in this interpratation key, tears came to my eyes. We live in times when criminality is studied from neurology, and even criminals are seen as human beeings not discriminated anymore. In this interpratation finaly Don Giovanni gain a real dignity. I am impressed...

[tenore23]

@pizzomammamia Well, I asked one of the artists, who is a good friend and he loved the idea and loved the whole experience, even if he didn't agree with everything that Bieito did, so there's your answer for what you DIDN"T KNOW.

[Meriendadenegros]

¡Vaya desastre!No hay ni rastro de talento...

[wolfgangtheophilus]

que contentos estarán los de la limpieza del teatro, jaja

[ibnhazm]

A Calix likes to dabble in shit, sure it is his natural element. Those who allow these productions are as stupid as he. and those critics who applaud such a simpleton trash.

[tenore23]

@ibnhazm You know what? That is a stupid thing to say whithout having done your research. This might not mean anything to you, but the Spaniards who saw it recognized immediately a crime that had been perpetuated not long before in the streets of Spain. Bieito used a murder commuted by some young football fans as inspiration for this Giovanni and while I agree that not all of it works icertainly think the experience was different for those who were acquainted with the news of the murder.

[ibnhazm]

@tenore23 Thank you for his explanation, but I am Spanish and for my nothing means especially this scenery.

[tenore23]

@ibnhazm and that is exactly why i said "the experience was different for those who were acquainted with the news of the murder...."

[CarlitosDessay]

@tenore23 I was a witness in that bad-taste production. I person and honestly think it was insulting for Mozart's and Da Ponte's memory, and it was disgusting seeing all those poor acting-singers throwing food to each other; although the music wasn't greatly performed, but that's another story. I don't think inspiration is or should be an excuse to do such (forgive the word) SHIT, counting specially after all those wonderful stages for Don Giovanni that have been made until today.

[esclarmonde2010]

Pues yo soy española, conocía el crimen en cuestión, y sin embargo esta producción me pareció lo que es: una estupidez más de Bieito, vergonzosamente subvencionada con dinero público. Todo lo que hace este individuo es igual, y se mantiene gracias a que hay gente dispuesta a evolver en interpretaciones trascendentes lo que no es sino basura. YO NO QUIERO QUE CON MI DINERO SE HAGAN ESTAS IDIOTECES.

[MaximusTenor]

@esclarmonde2010 tiene completamente razon. Pues con la pretención de escandalizar un publico que no se escandaliza más por esas tonterias pues, como usted dice, porque el dinero de todos se tira en la basura como bieto hace con la musica de Mozart. Se ve que la basura es el elemento donde bieito agrandeció y donde actualmente vive. Que uno puede esperar de individuos asì?

[Regietheaterdreckweg]

Awful! just awful!

[MariaCaIIas]

Utterly boring! By no means shocking! Heavens sake we live in 21 century. We see wars and murder and rape while having breakfast in front of our TV!

But if you've seen one of those productions, you've seen them ALL!

I d rather see that the director has done some homework instead of just staging the SAME story in everything he does. I want to see something NEW!!

Poor singers. if they say NO another one will do it! On top of it all they have to say that they liked it in order to stay in business!

[reinadegrillos]

Horrible setting!

Bieito is gulty of killing Mozart!

[tenore23]

Mozart can't be killed. Not literally, not metaphorically. His music transcends any director's novel idea, no matter how misguided we might believe it to be.

[telephilia]

Talk about a cheap production. What did the set designers do? Shop at the Salvation Army Store? And such filth!

[Sochilinda]

Poor Simon, to be part of this piece of crap!

[asisecanta]

I think Simon himself declared on the media that he liked this production and he was happy of working with Bieito

[Sochilinda]

He is polite for sure! Believe me, he hate this production!

[matthieusarah]

And poor Mozart too!

[udilio]

la regia è semplicemente disgustosa!!!!!!!!!

[xjuno11]

tenor sounds flat.. i hate these productions that modernize it with back stories that don't even follow the libretto. I'd say that i would've walked out of this production but i would'nt have even bought tickets to this junk : )

[doobeedoo58]

I agree..this was crap...seems the trend is to modernize operas which totally detracts from the composers music and intent. I would have walked out too--but not before I hosed them down with a fire extinguisher!!!

[nornsnornsnorns]

Thank you very much for posting these. Just shows that a very fine cast can enhance what at first was a very troubled production. It is now far better than when I saw it in London some years ago. Hope you will be able to post more - the opening of Act II is a good scene.
