So I called the opera, and yes, there were a number of restored recitatives that are usually cut. The talk seemed longer and more detailed.

It seemed to me that this Don Giovanni was longer than usual, that I was hearing things I didn't usually hear. See San Francisco Opera: Don Giovanni at War Memorial Opera House in San Francisco, CA on Jun 15, 2022. All performances are at War Memorial Opera House, 301 Van Ness Ave., San Francisco. Ana Maria Martinez who recently sang here in Don Carlo was magnificent and intense as Donna Elvira. Erin Wall whom I know from performances at Santa Fe was an elegant Donna Anna.

The ladies were also beautiful though very serious. Never was Giovanni such an arrogant asshole, and never was Leporello such a genius of comic timing. Schrott and D'Arcangelo are a magnificent pair. Perhaps something could be done to reduce their shininess. The only problem with the production from our viewpoint in the balcony was that it was filled with shiny screens that reflected the lights from the pit rather than the projected images. With these wonderful singers our conductor brought us a masterful performance. Both moved briskly and smoothly from scene to scene with no hesitation. The production and Minkowski's conducting went well together. You can see this is something of a big event. The debuts include the great conductor Marc Minkowski, Erwin Schrott and Ildebrando D'Arcangelo. Leporello, Donna Elvira, Donna Anna, Don Ottavio, Don GiovanniĪt the San Francisco Opera we have gone suddenly from a performance with 5 Adler Fellows to one with 5 debuts (*) and no Adler Fellows.
