Amadeus Don Giovanni Scene

Wouldn't you love to see a production like this one? Maybe I can do without Leporello in heels and makeup though.

I wonder why is the clapping so soft......, do the Viennese not know good music or something?

[elias12186]

Thats the point, they don't, notice how the theater is half full? DG was not appreciated in Vienna.

One of the best movies ever made. I remember thinking about this scene in the middle of the night and freaking myself out.

@achan1058 They probably dont know what the hell to think after Mozart threw something so different, so dark, and so extreme at them.

The person who disliked this got damned to hell by a ghostly statue.

Every time I watch Amadeus, and especially this scene, I get goosebumps all over! The pain that Mozart is in, the intense and deep emotions that are present in "Don Giovanni", the excellent performance of the singers, and F. Murray Abraham as Saliere narrating it all....as Salieri says "terrifying and wonderful to watch". I could never get enough of Amadeus, my favourite film!

Don Giovanni, a cena teco M'invitasti e son venuto Non l'avrei giammai creduto Ma faró quel che potró Leporello un altra cena Fa che subito si porti Ah padron, ah padron Ah padron siam tutti morti Vane dico! Ferma un po'! Non si pasce di cibo mortale chi si pasce di cibo celeste Altre cure piu gravi de queste Altra brama quaggiù mi guidó La terzana d'avere mi sembra e le membra fermar più non so Parla dunque! Che chiedi? Che vuoi? Parlo ascolta! Più tempo non ho! MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!!!!!

At this time especially, the Viennese, like the French, wanted their operas light and frothy (and in France, with a ballet thrown in, needed or not...) - the darkness of this would not have gone over well in that climate.

@elias12186 You haven't missed a lot I'd say. I bought it by accident and was rather delused. The film lost some of its compatness, and some scenes are really blatant, weakening the film. I'd change my director's cut DVD against an original version DVD any time.

To be entirely honest, I can't see why this has only 55,000 views?? this is the best version of the 'Commendatore Scene' even with Salieri talking over half of it, I would listen to this version and no other! I have the whole opera on dvd, but still as great as the whole piece is, this has to be the greatest version of this masterpiece! Amazing music, brilliant film and genius Mozart! <3

hablo español, esta opera es en italiano, pero siento que cantan en ingles.

@elias12186 It's all bollocks considering that Don Giovanni was premiered in Prague, once Mozart edited the Opera for Vienna it then became popular and was performed more than 5 times.
