Mozart composed Don Giovanni - here’s a tenor in action ‘Il mio tesoro’

Anyway, just in case you're thinking that Mozart wrote an opera which had a real baddie, the baddie gets his comeuppance at the end. I'm but he does some awful things in the Meanwhile, you can find so many recordings of John Giovanni

Will I cease pursuing my sword and faith I plighted north my resolve shall thwart well, the guy is going to avenge his girlfriend who is madly in love with who Don Giovanni has seduced in some way, probably by implications. Given the time that the opera was written, the implications are that he rapes them all anyway. Depends on how the opera is performed today, how explicit this seduction is. But he behaved very badly and this guy is going to avenge

I am going to download this tonight on my Apple Music and listen to it. So thank you so much for creating in me and appreciation for this. I absolutely enjoyed it. And I just wanted to say that I find it very sad that you haven't seen a production where this gentleman is portrayed as a brave and courageous man because that's who he truly is if he's setting out to avenge his girl, because any man who's out to do that should be portrayed as a hero

Opera lover. I just wanted to say that we played the entire song on surround sound in our house, and the whole family listened to it. And it was just absolutely, absolutely beautiful. So thank you for introducing this to us

And even as I just played it back a minute ago to remind me of the sound of your voice, it's magic. It really is. I think opera isn't all that popular reform, and that's a minority, a kind of niche interest. That's fine. That's absolutely fine with me. And I think that people get kind of converted. That's a bit stronger word. Converted to opera are interested in opera person by person. But above all, I want to thank you

Hey, Paul. So now you've got me listening to opera. Amazing. That Suda and our whole family sat there and listened. Now I've never listened to opera before in my life. And I've just just put this on. And my cat has never heard it. And she got up and she's now standing in the hall looking because I'm playing it from the bedroom and she's looking like, What's that sound? She's never heard it. I've never heard it

There might be a few other smaller places around where you could see an opera, but those would be the two main places I've been to look. When I was living in London, I saw practically every opera that was performed in London over about a 15 year period, maybe even for longer but 18 year period. So I was as interested in opera as you have been interested in Elvis Presley. Let's say put it that way, and certainly it's a real treat

She's never seen any of these videos. So we have this cinema room in our complex that we can hire. And so we're going to do that and invite a few people over and show a concert along with some of the videos, because the video is epic. She's never seen any of them. So I'm looking forward to doing that. Okay. So I will check out the two places that I can see opera in London and see what's on and when and where

I'm just checking to see if you I don't think Paul, that I had to tag you. I think that if you're holding your post, I think you'll get a notification that I've commented here. I'm just checking. Let me know

Yes, Mark, I got a notification so that clears up something that was on my mind too. So any reply you give to somebody who posts I or a cast or whatever they're called a swell who is the author? They get notified. What I'm not sure about is if anybody else who's participating in the conversation also gets notified. Do you know the answer to that one
