Don Giovanni shows at the Magic Lantern
T
he Magic Lantern Cinema will present the San Francisco Opera’s production of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Don Giovanni, often referred to as the greatest opera ever composed, this week in its downstairs Screening Rooms. The film will be shown twice at 6 p.m. tonight and 6 p.m. Thursday. This is a live performance in High Definition, conducted by Donald Runnicles, and is a co-production with the Theatre de la Monnaie-Brussels. Don Giovanni is the story of an unrepentant seducer, and his ultimate tragedy. Caritas Chorale Conductor Dick Brown will give a pre-show informative talk about Don Giovanni at 5:30 p.m. Thursday before the showing. Carefully balancing comedy with heaping amounts of seduction, love and ultimate tragedy, Don Giovanni is often referred to as the greatest opera ever composed. This particular version Polish baritone Mariusz Kwiecien in the title role. It is sung in Italian with English subtitles. The running time is three hours and five minutes with a ten-minute intermission and a behind-thetwp scenes interview.
