DON GIOVANNI - Long Story Short

[@dennis12dec]

Don Giovanni is totally an absolute bad boy in its day, love the way he met his creepy end. This is one of my favorite operas and the presentation is so much fun and well explained. If you're a beginner to opera I highly recommend this.

[@Sandrashen]

Thank you sooooooo much for making the plot so clear for us! Love your comments all along the way too. So fun!!!

[@EpiDot52]

I saw Don Giovanni today and this helped me appreciate it. Thank you.

[@marissapearlfieland244]

I love how easy this was to understand- the commentary was also very funny and engaging. Please keep making these ❤️

[@kirbypoohbear]

Oh the best explanation I've ever heard of my life

[@michellemartinez7167]

I'm about to go watch a performance of Don Giovanni and wanted to make sure I'd know what was happening -- Loved this summary, thank you! Also, you're adorable :)

[@nadiabensily311]

[@alexhawkins1795]

It was so frightening and so amazing to watch.

[@moshebuchachevsky5650]

[@hkisto4955]

Omg it all makes sense now!!!!!! Thank u so much!!❤👍

[@abexoxo]

Thank you you are making this language-exclusive opera very funny and captivating! Now I want to learn Italian just to listen to the original opera myself lmao.

[@KaffeePinsel]

Thank you 🙏🏻. Bust read the opera for a seminar and your little video definitely helped putting things into perspective 👌🏻

[@cdomi3]

OMG! you are as informative and entertaining as you are adorable! I can’t wait to see Don Giovanni now!

[@heqaib]

More fun & better than reading the usual opera summary. Love it! (I have seen this. Opera dozens of times too.) I hope this method of explanation will make opera more understandable for a broader audience - thanks 😋.

Isn't this where "Don Juan Triumphant" was borrowed from? There was a scene in the ALW Musical, "The Phantom of the Opera," where the Phantom demanded the opera house to perform "his" Opera and have Christine as the star. In the Don Juan Triumphant opera, Don Juan tells his friend about his plan to trick the young maiden, played by Christine, to sleep with him by having himself disguised as the servant and his friend as the master.

[@Anshulkatta]

Love the dinner music...

[@Flower-v8w]

Girl, you need to go viral OMG 😅😂😊

[@VAMR-vc7xg]

Very well explained, thanks.

[@douja3001]

[@imavictorian]

I love your enthusiasm!

[@droproductions4542]

Thank you for pronouncing the Italian words right🙏🏻🙏🏻 like Dónna, not dOOnaAa

[@llama918]

best explanation. too good

[@lucamarchetti5230]

Excellent job!

[@elenalee873]

Love it!

[@drnext5007]

first: in 8:56 in my opinion, don giovanni doesn't freak out in that scene at all, I belive that it is a very important point that don giovanni doesn't get scared at all until he relizes his mistakes and that he is being sent to hell and it is too late to fix secondly: why does he just escape in the end and reapear in a tree? what is that huge hand from the sky? he doesn't shake the hand of god, just the hand of the statue, the entire opera and especially the finale are aultred and changed so much that the plot is completly different, and I really dislike them giving everyone very modern clothes I really liked how you explained it and that it was pretty much acurate, but this production is really bad

[@ragaabdou703]

I like your presentation

[@martiglesias60]

Based on a Spanish play by Tirso de Molina.

[@jflaco]

Amazing!!!!

[@ChristinaLicatalosi]

Amazing video!!

[@mozartjpn137]

I am falling for you.

[@jonsmith7718]

thanks for nice explanation :)

[@Hailey_Paige_1937]

Thank yoooouuuu!

[@TamasEndreToth]

Fantastico! How can I send you the italian translation?

[@yakshaver1]

Brilliant!!!

[@egypub]

Great

[@declanpmclaughlin2286]

can we see the same for le mis?

[@justgiovanni5093]

OMG

[@ttt3258]

In the end , it should been , instead of throwing him to hell , he should been turned to a statue 🗿. Like an old Arabic story , who looks back,, during an event in the story ,, be comes a statue 😂

[@yadusolparterre]

Donna Elvira is not Giovanni's ex-lover. She's his WIFE !😝

[@captainnemo1080]

Well, Donna Anna and Don Ottavio are NOT married, and it is pretty obvious Donna Anna does not want him. It is unlikely that Don Giovanni had tried to rape her, it is not his style. Leporello always complains about his master, but in fact envies him. Zerlina is no saint either, in fact, none of them are. It is not a good vs evil story, that is what makes it great. That and the music, which is, of course, unsurpassable.

[@roeliehd9250]

aip

[@Flower-v8w]

Hilarious 😊

[@Wolfgangus_Theophilus]

?

[@richardmaximilianbrutke]

Kannst du das bitte mal in Deutsch machen?

[@virginiaalonso6172]

My dear, you need to go back to school! Your twisted explanation of the plot is incorrect at best!

[@sentr5984]

Annoying presentation, starting with the keyboard noise.

[@CoastalReaction]

That production's ending is deeply subversive.

[@morbionicle]

You're weird but your passion makes you appealing...

[@cultuurspel]

The females seduced by Don Giovanni betray their partner. Is their betrayal not as worse as his seduction?

[@SeekingTheLoveThatGodMeans7648]

This is immaterial when it comes to repentance to God or refusal, and eternal consequences. Also there was murder in the case of the Commendatore, which is why he gets to have an angel in the guise of his statue take the turkey talk to the arrogant, evil Don. For the scriptural record, things tend to be easier on adulteresses, for they are weaker. But both they and adulterers must "turn or burn." The evil Don was very hardened, even while looking eternity in the face.

[@hyperdiegesis]

Shut up incel

[@janach1305]

Don Giovanni isn’t sent to hell because he seduced and/or raped a couple of thousand women. He is sent to hell for meddling with the supernatural by mockingly inviting a ghost to dinner. Do what you want to mortal women, but respect zombies. The northern European version of this story is the tale of Faust, who goes to hell because he makes a deal with the devil, not because he gets an innocent girl pregnant and abandons her.

[@janwilson9485]

you made too many mistakes, you are obviously not familiar with the libretto or the preceding plays going back to the 16th century

[@cristianc4702]

This is just an excelent parody, not an introduction to opera. It’s like saying Mel Brooks’ History of the World movie is an introduction to history, or places the comedian amongst the most renowned historians. It’s just a very good gig.

[@cheriagata6408]

You’re gonna type this everywhere? Geesh

[@williamsackelariou1860]

I really wanted to hear this but your presentation is insufferable Thanks but NO thanks

[@beverlywilcox4349]

But that's not the end! It should have been the end, but actually, Mozart had to add a stupid "everything's ok now, move along, nothing to see" sextet for the survivors.

[@boundary2580]

A lot of new productions cut it thankfully.

[@pipestoneable]

She is really such … She completly don’t understand anything.

[@lordprivateer4965]

Me too does not define occidental culture. I vomited a little.

[@professorxaviour3649]

Just tell the story of the opera please! No one wants to hear your politics!

[@sheridan54]

Then don't watch it you c***. If you can read, I'm sure you'll find a nice explanation that fits your views...

[@boundary2580]

Opera IS political. It’s an opera about r*pe and murder and at the time it was first performed was VERY shocking. It’s about a Nobleman abusing his power and getting away with it, with Leporello (the servant/laborer) often getting punished in his masters place.
