Don Giovanni (1979)

Synopsis

Infamous womanizer Don Giovanni makes conquest after conquest, leaving seduced and abandoned women in his wake. When the ghost of the Commendatore he has killed appears, he is given a final chance to change his philandering ways or face the terrors of hell. Joseph Losey’s hugely successful adaptation of Mozart’s greatest opera features wonderful performances from an excellent cast and stunning cinematography. A film version of Mozart’s opera ‘Don Giovanni’. Singers include: Teresa Berganza, Kiri Te Kanawa, Malcolm King, Jose Van Dam, Edda Moser, Ruggero Raimondi and Kenneth Riegel. Music is by the Orchestra And Chorus of the Paris Opera; conducted by Lorin Maazel. Directed by Joseph Losey. Sung in Italian with English subtitles.
The DVD features a newly restored version with DTS 5.1 audio mix and the featurettes include: ‘Losey and Don Giovanni’, ‘About Don Giovanni’ and ‘The Sound Odyssey 1978-2006’.
