Nikolaus Harnoncourt conducts the Zurich Opera House Orchestra from 2002---titles end at about 2:34 and you see him conduct the rest of the overture.

From start of opera to the entrance of the Commendatore.

to see Matti Salminen's powerful Commendatore in this scene, go here:

  • The saddest thing about opera in America is that typically people both on the production and audience sides of the fence forget that all social classes attended opera in its youth as a genre. Thankfully, the younger generations who are discovering an interest in opera are from all walks of life and may eventually dislodge this social dogma of opera being elitist. Thanks for the internet, libraries and being an opera chorister, without which I would never experience this beautiful music.

  • Sooo moving...

  • opening - very bad!

  • @jhnthnjns how true!

  • Love Harnoncourt stile beside!!

  • Mozart was a genius without doubt. The best in classicism. But, I wouldn´t put him on the top of all the time composers as many of his early works apart of being brilliant lack of something that romantic composers take on their works. Anyway Don Giovanni makes already some winks to romanticism. He should have shaked off italian opera influence.

  • the "resistance" to beautiful music, art and education are those who can't appreciate the same. nouveau illiterates misspell names and excuse such as "variants". i remember when one was appreciated and respected for glasses, grey at the temples and speaking one's language properly. i, too, have a varied taste in music.

  • @KnottPatriot Beethoven was 17 when Mozart did this tho

  • 17 Nov 2011. I went to don giovanni yesterday... in Zurich
