@hymnofashes You are right, I was actually agreeing with you ; )Some people actually write comments to praise wit, and not just to stir up s**t.Blimey, I should become a rapper, like.

@friemelaar Come on, you know I'm right. Sure the arias are pretty, but from a storytelling perspective, they don't tell us anything --ANYTHING-- new about the characters singing them. They don't advance the plot. Compare to the catalog aria or Donna Elvira's aria, or this trio, or the opening... quartet? A LOT is going on! It's a disappointment after all the buildup at the end of act one to review that Donna Anna is upset and Ottavio wants to help. We know. The opera is long enough.

@hymnofashes The opera is still adapted from Don Juan which has a message attached to it, and they felt the need to include it. Cheesy by today's standards but pretty common then. This was still the classical era.

Questo classico della letteratura è un genio. Don Juan Tenorio in America. Don Giovanni, genio.!!

is there a word for the phenomenon with singers where strong vibrato obscures the pitch? It's happening with Terfel here and with Koptchak.
