Don Giovanni

By Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Directed by Mark Streshinsky. Produced by Berkeley Opera at the El Cerrito Performing Arts Theater, February 2010, and by Livermore Valley Opera at the Bankhead Theatre, October 2010.


A particularly clever bit was Leporello's use of an iPhone that evoked giant onstage projections of Google maps marking the locales of Don Giovanni's thousands of seductions as an accompaniment to his famous "Catalog" aria . . . These were followed with projections of female images lifted from the palettes of Leonardo, Renoir, Monet, Degas, and even Whistler's mother . . . One of the very best parts of the production were Jeremy Knight's artful projection designs depicting the cemetery and the "marble" statue of Giovanni's victim, the murdered Commendatore, loooming out of the entrance of his tomb. Equally evocative were the leaping, licking flames that swallowed the arrogant, unrepentent Don Giovanni into hell.

He then comes up with a mind-blowing Register Aria, Igor Vieira's Leporello culling data from an iPhone, Google Earth projected to a screen to show the countries mentioned, with pins representing the Don's conquests.
