Mozart's Don Giovanni from the Met

Mozart's Don Giovanni from the Met, with Gerald Finley as the vile seducer and Bryn Terfel as his manservant. Andrew Davis conducts the New York Metropolitan Opera Orchestra.

Indiscriminate and sexually voracious, Don Giovanni is a man who doesn't take no for an answer, leaving a trail of outrage and wrecked lives in his wake. But in the end, even he comes up against something he can't dupe, evade, or kill. One of the greatest (and most hummable) operas in the repertoire stars baritone Gerald Finley in the title role and Bryn Terfel as his manservant Leporello.

This performance from the Met in 2012 is presented by Mary-Jo Heath with guest commentator Ira Siff
