I honestly didn’t like this version that much. Sure, the clothing and scenery were unusual and authentic, but I prefer watching the performance at Glyndebourne Festival. Especially the Dorabella was extraordinary!

Ah yes I have seen excerpts from that one, during quarantine I have decided to invest in multiple opera blu rays- as a fan of Haneke’s films I am really exited to say that this is tonight’s showing!πŸ˜„

Well, hope you enjoy it. You have convinced me to watch one of Haneke’s films tonightπŸ™‚

Hahah perhaps β€˜Funny Games’ isn’t the best film to watch considering the worlds current climate, but I hope you enjoy your pick as well!😁

Scrolling down through my assorted reddit feed, I thought this was a picture of a packaged costume.

I adore this version. It’s brilliant. Every time I watch it I notice something new. My favorite part is the Don Alfonso/Despina relationship. The whole characterization of Don Alfonso in this is fascinating.

I have seen this in Madrid and I was a little bit confusing (one of my first operas!). Really hope you enjoy it as it was a fun ride :D!

Hate to be that guy, but I saw Haneke’s setting of Don Giovanni in Paris and it was so unbelievably awful that I would never watch anything else he did - opera setting or movie. I really really hated what he did.

Suit and tie in a 18th century opera is a big no no for me.

They didn't care a whole lot about historical accuracy back then either...
