W.A. Mozart - Don Giovanni, Là ci darem la mano

[@davinorizzi5054]

un belissimo duetto capibile e ben recitato

[@lucyliesinashes]

I usually can't abide a mezzo as Zerlina (soubrette is a character type meant to go with a voice type), but.... wow. I think I just piddled.

I think the best italian vowels are a combination of the two, where all vowels aren't closed or open--for instance closer to the vowels of Tuscany.

[@angelabender8132]

MusicMan1519 Item for some consonant sounds which in Tuscany are mixed and neither too sweet like the northerners or too sour like southerners

[@lucyliesinashes]

what you're seeing is stiff staging, actually, which is up to the director. Both of these singers are fine, fine actors.

Grande Mozart, come sempre, grande Domingo , come sempre,

[@MrCarlomaria]

Domingo???

[@MusicMan1519]

This is obviously at La Scala, but does anyone know why the italian vowels are so weird and "closed"?

Mozart didn't have access to 19th century classifications of voice. Elvira, Anna and Zerlina (as wel as Countess, Susanna & Cherubino) are all "Soprani" in his scores.

[@1401JSC]

The singers are not Italian. Much depends on coaching. In 1980s England, we favoured the closed vowels of Turin rather than the open vowels of Naples. Nowadays, coaches mar prefer giving closed vowels to the noble DG and open vowels to the peasant Z!
