Roving Pittsburgher Report
Don Giovanni at Pittsburgh Opera
First of all I have to say for having been written in the seventeen hundreds, the modern daytime soaps could not have done it better. From Olympian numbers of sexual partners to blatant anti-social behavior Don Giovanni was the stuff of dark serial soaps. One could not help but get caught up in the story, the musicality and the character development. Even if you do not understand Italian, you could not escape any of this. Read the entire review here.
