MelbourneOpera’s @MelbourneOpera’s Don Giovanni has a good list of pluses — none more so than the splendid musical interpretation under cond. Raymond Lawrence and the fine musicianship of the MO Orchestra. My thoughts at #ArtsReview: artsreview.com.au/don-giovanni-7/

Don Giovanni: Il dissoluto punito, ossia il (The Rake Punished) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Presented by @MelbourneOpera The Athenaeum, Melbourne. Review by Patricia Di Risio. Photographer: Robin Halls. stagewhispers.com.au/reviews/don-gi…

In a Don Giovanni that aligns comfortably with tradition and elucidates the jocular of dramma giocoso, @MelbourneOpera’s work, directed by Suzanne Chaundy, has a long list of pluses, none more so than the fine musicianship under Raymond Lawrence’s splendid musical interpretation.
