About

This 3-CD boxed set features a recording of a performance of Mozart’s opera Don Giovanni that took place in Rome on May 12, 1970. The RAI Symphony Orchestra & Chorus of Rome is conducted by the legendary Carlo Maria Giulini, and the all-star cast includes some of the greatest singers of their time, including Nicolai Ghiaurov, Gundula Janowitz, Alfredo Kraus, and Sena Jurinac.

The set comes with a 76-page booklet which features historic photographs and an extensive essay on the history and interpretation of the opera, as well as a newly translated Italian-English libretto.

Don Giovanni is considered by many to be Mozart’s best opera. It was premiered by the Prague Italian opera at the "Teatro di Praga" in 1787. Although sometimes classified as an “opera buffa”, the story of a notorious philanderer who meets a sticky end, blends comedy, melodrama and supernatural elements.
