Michael is obviously best Don Ottavio in our time! Thanks for Superb beautiful singing! His voice itself tell the beauty of the song! Too Bad this production didn’t seems help much and distructive!
These modern productions drive me nuts. I can't imaging Michael was happy with this production. Dog sitting while singing the key tenor aria???? Really???
Sinceramente gli hanno fatto fare una cafonata, con questi storpiamenti... Ma purtroppo certa gente arriva dov'è, non per merito... Ma per raccomandazioni, fortuna e calci in culo... Perché questa non è assolutamente una persona adatta a fare il regista... Ha rovinato una canzone.
Wonderful singing, but whoever is responsible for this travesty of a production should never be allowed in a theatre again. I'm so fed up with awful, stupid productions.
Absolutely gorgeous! Superb singing. But again awful direction. Every director worth their salt knows that a live animal is a complete scene stealer so it’s either the centre of a scene or you don’t use it, unless you’re actively trying to denigrate the actor and undermine the scene.
Castellucci a encore frappé! ⚠️ Metteur en scène à éviter à tout prix si on veut voir et écouter de l’opéra et pas des branlettes pseudo-intellectuelles d’un artiste sans goût ni respect pour ce qui le dépasse. Ce n’est pas la première fois qu’il détruit Mozart malheureusement!
Michael Spyres is a revelation. His voice is just so unique and versatile. But, I just don't understand what the deal is with these European productions and these horrid productions. I'm not a stuffy purist by any means but the staging and costuming here is just, well ugly. It does no justice to the music or the singers. I think you can update things without making them look like a thrown together mess with no real creative direction.
Of all the animals the director could have chosen, he chose a French poodle ! If there has been any doubt that Don Ottavio was a complete wuss, that poodle removes ALL DOUBTS !
Regia pessima. Sinceramente gli hanno fatto fare una cafonata, con questi storpiamenti... Ma purtroppo certa gente arriva dov'è, non per merito... Ma per raccomandazioni, fortuna e calci in culo... Perché questa non è assolutamente una persona adatta a fare il regista... Ha rovinato una canzone. Se fossi stato il tenore, avrei rifiutato di cantarla... A costo di depennarmi dall'opera.
Mise en scène une fois de plus ridicule ... avec les couinements de ce pauvre chien en bruit de fond... et des ornementations fantaisiste de surcroit ... affligeant!
because in belcanto you have to show all the spectrum of colors, from the sweet and soft singing to the heroic phonation. This is the challenge, to demonstrate that you can manage your instrument in every aspect. I like this version, reminds me the glorious perfomance co dalla sua pace singed from Gigli. Too easy sing all forte with the same phonation.
LUI è bravissimo, eccezionale, commovente!!! Il regista…lasciamo perdere…
Wonderful singing….
Superb and absolutely sublime, for the first time it sounds as a prayer, a religious piece of music.
Superb and absolutely sublime Michae as always (the production, other than the poodle, should be packed away forever).
The dog too; it is a fine dog but takes away all the focus from the singing IMO
Bravo
Großartig, innig, lebendig, DANKE!
lovely singing- bizarre production
So beautiful
Simply Wonderful!!!
Perfect singing.
Magistral! Merci 🤩
Sublime
Wunderbär
Insuperable

La solita insulsa irraggionevole scenografia, che allontana dall'opera!
Does anyone know this ornamentations/variations?
His song is so fantastic. but I really don't understand this directing.....
An explanation is needed.
Magnifique ! Mais la mise en scène….?
Grande voce... La regia non l'ho capita

"Cosas vederes que non crederes, Sancho"!!!
Veredes (y oiredes). En lo demás, de acuerdo. Increíble.
Why so precious?
Anche quì ascolto senza guardare le immagini....vedo che il COVID ha fatto brutti effetti al regista !
That is the weirdest production.
oh the doggie, the doggie....so cute
Wonderful singing, but whoever is responsible for this travesty of a production should never be allowed in a theatre again. I'm so fed up with awful, stupid productions.
Poodle is great, real circus. He should had been barking loudly during this area. Would had been much more fun.
Whose idea was it to bring a dog on stage? Just seems like asking for trouble, lol. Spyres great as usual, though
Absolutely gorgeous! Superb singing.
But again awful direction. Every director worth their salt knows that a live animal is a complete scene stealer so it’s either the centre of a scene or you don’t use it, unless you’re actively trying to denigrate the actor and undermine the scene.
The staging does not deserve any comment. BUT the singing is FANTASTIC! THE PIANO!
costumi stupidi, scena orrenda....Spyres è molto bravo, ma la scena disgusta e rovina il genio di Mozart
Comment ridiculiser un grand chanteur pourquoi ? Des metteurs en scène qui veulent se faire un nom sur le dos des artistes
But with the collaboration of Spyres himself. That belly and those _fioriture_ are Spyres' and Spyres" only.
Castellucci a encore frappé! ⚠️ Metteur en scène à éviter à tout prix si on veut voir et écouter de l’opéra et pas des branlettes pseudo-intellectuelles d’un artiste sans goût ni respect pour ce qui le dépasse. Ce n’est pas la première fois qu’il détruit Mozart malheureusement!
👏👏👏👏
Why the hell is there a dog on the stage ? Spyres sounds great, but the production is distracting to say the least.
Maybe in the future Michael can be advised to avoid boneheaded productions like this.
Très belle voix mais j'ai horreur des transpositions. Pour moi. Ce n'est pas Don Giovanni. C'est mon avis.
Transposed how? Or is it the ornaments you disagree with?
Nicht schlecht. Aber warum erreichst du nicht mein Herz mit deiner Stimme. Und was sollen die unnötigen dummen Zwischennoten?
No… utter disrespect to the artist and the composer.
Excellent, outstanding the voice, but the directed it sucks.....the costumes, what is it with the dog.........this modern......
Michael Spyres is so good he makes me mad. 😡

A revelation ?
Imagine that thing peeing as he sings that long line "Moooooooooorte! Morte Mi Da!"
Dommage de gâcher une si superbee voix par un costume et une mise en scène ridicule
TELLEMENT D'ACCORD AVEC VOUS!
Michael is great: the production sucks and I can hear the dog whimpering; who is the stupid jealous director ot this mess?
Of all the animals the director could have chosen, he chose a French poodle ! If there has been any doubt that Don Ottavio was a complete wuss, that poodle removes ALL DOUBTS !
I wouldn't have noticed . I haven't laughed this hard for any opera since Rienzi.
Hahahahaha
@Lady Izolda :: You're right ! I haven't seen it. I will now ! Thanks !
Regia pessima.

Non mi piace
Awful. Everything.
Why is it the singing so poor and pop? Is this opera or modern theather?
because in belcanto you have to show all the spectrum of colors, from the sweet and soft singing to the heroic phonation. This is the challenge, to demonstrate that you can manage your instrument in every aspect. I like this version, reminds me the glorious perfomance co dalla sua pace singed from Gigli. Too easy sing all forte with the same phonation.
Also bc this is simply the taste right now. Conductors and coaches really like this soft singing, and Spyres can do it extremely well
I've never heard this version before. I usually listen to Heddle Nash singing it, a great English tenor of the past, and like his version very much
