No nasality, not woofy. Full released lyric tenor sound. Perfect interpretation

[@nickevershedmusic8927]

What does Woofy mean? Do I sing in a Woofy style?

Yes, Don Ottavio should be sung by a full lyric manly tenor voice, as here by Mr. Hadley.
A symbol of everything a virtuous real man should be, Ottavio is everything the Don is not.
He is, then, the explicit foil to Giovanni-- a symbolic paragon of masculine virtues. PS- spare us the counter-tenor craze, please God.

[@fuletiopia]

that's a point of view, but there are much more subtle interpretations of this sublime opera: every character is never what they want to appear, Don Giovanni is a sexually impotent (never has sex through all the score), just a myth boasted by his servant, don Ottavio is a coward, who just goes promising revenges he never acts, donna Anna is a noble hypocrit (it's never clear if she really didn't give in don Giovanni's attempts), Zerlina is just a social climber and so on...

[@aaronmckone8973]

I agree that these interpretations both offer interesting ways to view the characters and story. However, whether Ottavio is a the true foil to Don G or a coward, either interpretation can be sung well, with a focused, clear tone that is not overly “sentimental” to the point of losing clarity and projection. Even if Ottavio is a wimp, I’m not at the opera to hear wimpy singing.

Daniel.Behle is far more suitable for Mozart tenors! 😊

[@EmilyGloeggler7984]

His acting needed work here but good technique.

[@Victoria-pl3qg]

Yea? 🧐

[@nickevershedmusic8927]

​​@@Victoria-pl3qg yes it does actually but his voice seriously makes up for it
