The first video disk review in Opera Canada in a while is now up on that site. It’s a review by me of a production by L’Opéra Royale de Versailles of Mozart’s Don Giovanni. There’s plenty of Cancon with Robert Gleadow as the Don, Florie Valiquette as Donna Anna and both Marshal Pynkoski and Jeannette Lajeunesse Zingg involved.
