Don Giovanni

After a mixed reception of Robert Carsen new La Scala season opening production of Don Giovanni, conducted by an unsteady Daniel Barenboim, the two collaborators are defending their art against Milanese detractors.

CarsenBoim took aim at the smattering of boos fake van cleef and arpels necklace sale heard during the 10 minute final curtain call that followed Carsen rewritten coup de thtre Don Giovanni finale the remainder of the cast including Bryn Terfel, Peter Mattei and Anna Netrebko were roundly applauded.

Rome daily La Repubblica went backstage on Sant to gauge Barenboim reaction, particularly regarding a brazen loggionisti who shouted "troppo lento" (too slow) when the new Music Director took the podium at the beginning of the second act. Barenboim said:

"These protests happen in Italy but also in Germany. I liberal and think that everyone has the right to express their own opinions. But don come into the theater and scream. If you eat a bad meal at a restaurant, you don go into the kitchen and scream at the chef because the food was bad: maybe just give a smaller tip and don go back to that restaurant."

These sorts of provocations aren worthy of acknowledging, said Barenboim, who hasn been shy in he past when confronting his audiences. OC was at a concert in 2007 at La Scala where the pugnacious Barenboim had a Sergio Leone spaghetti western staredown with a camera wielding ticket holder. He won, of course. Fastest gun in the West(ern Europe).

We were also at La Scala in February 2009 when Barenboim garnered his very first Il Piermarini booing, so his skin is thicker at this point. The gun slinging conductor then spoke to La Repubblica ironically about the "troppo lento" heckler:

"If I had really wanted to, I would have told that gentlemen [in the loggione]: now you can get the heck outta here because the second act won be any quicker. Carsen, the Canadian director who gave us the OJ verdict version of Don Giovanni, said that he didn hear any booing for him at opening night. Haaaaa nice. He defended his Don, too:

"I wanted to reveal the personality of the libertine and show him like a mirror of what the other characters had within themselves, his pure energy of the good and the bad as being pulled by others."

Regardless of the booing, wieners for the h8rs. For La Scala, it a success: opening night pulled in an 8% increase in profit (2,390,000 euro) from last year frankly unmemorable Die Walkure (reports here and here and here). Next year opens with Wagner Lohengrin stamped by Claus Guth with Anja Harteros, Rene Pape and Jonas Kaufmann.

We got you covered with Italy big three newspapers Il Corriere della Sera, La Repubblica, and La Stampa for La Scala season opening Sant Don Giovanni.

Headlines mostly addressed Milan latest turn for opening night sobriety/austerity, the fact that Monti and Napolitano were there to support the arts, an overall victory for Barenboim/Carsen and the verb "seduce"."Twelve minutes of applause for a successful Don Giovanni" continued Corriere coverage. Articles covered everything from Carsen re write of the Don Giovanni parable to alhambra necklace knock off a new austerity, equally evident in guest wardrobes.

HBIC (head byotch in charge) Marta Marzotto chatted with Roberto Bolle in the foyer.

Milan seduced by Don Giovanni. Since an opera hating Berlusconi no longer rules, it the first time since 2004 that the President of the Italian Republic Giorgio Napolitano and Milan Prime Minister (now Mario Monti) were at the theater together. (Berlusca one and only appearance at La Scala opening night during 17 years for the re opening of the theater after renovations).

A round up of all the other places that Don Giovanni had been transmitted during la prima, including a huge screen in Galleria Emanuele Vittorio II. The Wednesday night premiere was given to Canadian opera director Robert Carsen, who will also bow a new Les contes d in mid January 2012 for il Piermarini (for the record, we also got two Luc Bondy productions this season Tosca with Luisotti in April 2012 and a new Rigoletto with Dudamel in November 2012). Paid.

DonG one of the most buzzed about season openers in recent years for its star power, which had been dimmed during a deluge of Wagner and Verdi (and Bizet) with idiosyncratic casting.
