Go for the music.

What @1 said. On top of all the crazy shit going on (and the Olympic-quality vocalism required of the singers), you get this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaXE0v0b…

Also, go because the part Verdi wrote for Abagail is so high and technically challenging is wrekt the voices of several singers, was only performed by Marie Callas 3x, and notably several other prominent sopranos have refused to sing it. It is dazzling to witness live. Also the Hebrew slaves chorus will get stuck in your head forever. Which is good.

Ugh, sounds like the Don Giovanni's production set in '50's America we suffered through some years ago, with greasy hair and leather jackets, and ultra ugg sets. WORST.EXPERIENCE.EVER!!!! Thanks for the warning, I love Verdi even more than Mozart.

Dear Iseult,
That Don Giovanni production was 20 years ago....let it go!

Please wait...
