That, my friends, is why we go to the opera.

I've heard it a thousand times and I it still gives me chills every time. One of the best things written by Mozart.

This is why you are careful as to whom you invite for dinner.

There is something so powerful about the first delivery of "Don Giovanni". Chills.

There is the wonderful story of Don Giovanni being performed at the Wexford Opera Festival in Ireland and at the end of this scene where the Don descends into Hell, the stage lift sticks and the music ends with half of the Don still visible. The singer demanded that the lift be raised up, and they try again and the orchestra, chorus, Commendatore and Leporello, whip up the wonderful music and all sing their parts again and the Don descends once again and the lift sticks. When the music ends, an Irish voice at the back of the theatre shouts out "Heaven be praised, Hell is Full".

this is performing. this is acting. this is pure art.

Best Commendatore scene. Thanks from Italy

Here are some of the most fantastic pages ever composed. I love you so much Wolfgang

Always instantly full of dread as soon as I hear, "Dammi la Mano in pegno." Such a majestic and terrifying scene.

Every time I hear those first few notes, I get chills. It's exciting but also so dark and disturbing.

Mozart what a genius to create this spectacle

I grew up taking classical music which I used to think was so lame and now I realize how lucky I was! It has been the joy of my entire lifetime. We need to keep classical music alive forever. It has a wonder and a depth that all future generations should be able to experience.

Magnifique scène du Commandeur, j'en ai rarement vu d'aussi belle !

6 minutes and 25 seconds is a long time to not breathe, but this is that good.

I have always wanted to see this opera live. I love Mozart.

There is not a tenor or soprano on that stage. It's 2 basses and a baritone going at it. I love this...

My god what a set! What a show! I haven't seen anything that fun since I defeated the Germans!

Don Giovanni: Mariusz Kwiecien, Leporello: Luca Pisaroni, Commendatore: Stefan Kocan.

Can you believe Mozart is still hot today? That's genius for you.

Don Giovanni est d'emblée une oeuvre magistrale dans laquelle aucun espoir n'est possible pour le terrible séducteur ! ce qui conduit Don Giovanni sur les sentiers larges et spacieux de la perdition c'est l'orgueil, l'arrogance et le caractère impardonnable de ses actes : c'est un manipulateur conscient de l'être et son refus de toute rédemption est indissociable de sa vanité ! c'est une oeuvre majeur que le mélomane se doit d'écouter attentivement !

The Commendatore is the best! My favorite scene !!!! Absolutely love W.A. Mozart !

This scene gave me chills. The directing was superb. The acting great. Singing phenomenal. Luca's Leporello offered very much needed comic relief at the "he can't, he's busy" part.

Listening to the finale of Mozart's Don Giovanni, we have the confirmation that we are faced with an immortal piece. It produces very current sensations, with notes and rhythms that could have been written today. The apotheosis of music and - at the same time - the beginning of a new era.

Thrilling, especially the end.

I saw Don Giovanni in London in 2022 for the first time. The production was brilliant and I was on the edge of my seat throughout the entirety of Act 2.

My mom entering my room about to whoop me for my mess *DOOOOOOOOOONNNN GIIIIOOOOOOVAAAAAAAAANNNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!*

I have no words - it's just AWESOME!

I watch this opera at the Met in 2012, amazong, breath taking...

"So rose the dreadful ghost of his next... and blackest opera."

L'un des sommets absolus de l'oeuvre de Mozart, et de toute la musique. Une impressionnante progression vers l'inexorable. Une scène qui marque même si on se sent détaché, en dehors du drame.

The opera was going on all happy and bubbly, but then you hear those 2 chords and you know that it's about to get CRUNK...

Quelle magnifique interprétation. J'ai des frissons dans le dos à chaque fois, la musique avec cette scène m'emporte

This scene is always my favourite of any opera. Such a great dramatic concept alongside equally amazing orchestrations.

See how Don Giovanni maintains his defiance until he takes the Commander's hand. Then the power of God's judgment is revealed and he can't uphold his illusion of courage. His pride collapses but it is too late because he never would have regretted his sins without the experience of absolute fear. Atonement is out of reach the moment he realizes his need for it.

I don't watch opera don't know much about classical music but I watched Amadeus in music class this is still one of my favourite pieces of music ever.

Dios mío, qué final tan apoteósico. Te deja temblando de emoción

素晴らしい声で、迫力が有り感動しました。

What a performance. What a performance.

Amadeus movie brought me here, outstanding performance

Un superbe spectacle avec d'excellents chanteurs et cette fin d'opéra m'a toujours fait frissonner !

4:20 I swear, this commendatore's voice completely melts my ears every time i come to this video.

That is exactly how this scene should look!

One word SPECTACULAR!!!

To end an opera like this...what a genius...what a madman..THANK YOU WOLFIE

One of the best final ever written!

This deserves an Emmy!

This is perhaps the most phenomenal recordings eve. Grazie.

One of the most beautiful renditions of the Commendatore I've ever heard. Bravo!

~ Il Commendatore Don Giovanni, a cenar teco m’invitasti, e son venuto. ~ Don Giovanni Non l’avrei giammai creduto, ma farò quel che potrò! ~ Leporello, un’altra cena fa’ che subito si porti! ~ Leporello (mezzo fuori col capo dalla mensa) Ah padron, siam tutti morti! ~ Don Giovanni Vanne, dico... (Leporello con molti atti di paura esce e va per partire.) ~ Il Commendatore Ferma un po’. Non si pasce di cibo mortale chi si pasce di cibo celeste. Altre cure più gravi di queste, altra brama quaggiù mi guidò! ~ Leporello La terzana d’avere mi sembra, e le membra fermar più non so. ~ Don Giovanni Parla dunque: che chiedi, che vuoi? ~ Il Commendatore Parlo, ascolta, più tempo non ho. ~ Don Giovanni Parla, parla, ascoltando ti sto. ~ Il Commendatore Tu m’invitasti a cena, il tuo dover or sai; rispondimi: verrai tu a cenar meco? ~ Leporello (da lontano, tremando) Oibò! tempo non ha, scusate. ~ Don Giovanni A torto di viltate tacciato mai sarò! ~ Il Commendatore Risolvi! ~ Don Giovanni Ho già risolto. ~ Il Commendatore Verrai? ~ Leporello (a Don Giovanni) Dite di no! ~ Don Giovanni Ho fermo il core in petto: non ho timor, verrò! ~ Il Commendatore Dammi la mano in pegno! ~ Don Giovanni Eccola! Ohimè! (Grida forte.) ~ Il Commendatore Cos’hai? ~ Don Giovanni Che gelo è questo mai? ~ Il Commendatore Pentiti, cangia vita: è l’ultimo momento! ~ Don Giovanni (vuol sciogliersi,ma invano) No, no, ch’io non mi pento, vanne lontan da me! ~ Il Commendatore Pentiti, scellerato! ~ Don Giovanni No, vecchio infatuato! ~ Il Commendatore Pentiti! ~ Don Giovanni No! ~ Il Commendatore e Leporello Sì! ~ Don Giovanni No! ~ Il Commendatore Ah tempo più non v’è. (Parte; foco da diverse parti, tremuoto.) ~ Don Giovanni Da qual tremore insolito... sento assalir gli spiriti... dond’escono quei vortici di foco pien d’orror! CORO (di sotterra, con voci cupe) Tutto a tue colpe è poco. Vieni: c’è un mal peggior! A Due: ~ Don Giovanni Chi l’anima mi lacera! Chi m’agita le viscere! Che strazio, ohimè, che smania! Che inferno! che terror! ~ Leporello Che ceffo disperato! Che gesti da dannato! Che gridi, che lamenti! Come mi fa terror! (Il foco cresce;Don Giovanni si sprofonda.) ~ Don Giovanni Ah! - (Resta inghiottito dalla terra.) ~ Leporello Ah! -

i wish i was there *-* .. what a performance !!

Commendatore is a singer from the Slovak Republic - Stefan Kocan. It is perfect.

I saw this production live - it was awesome!!!!!!

Wow, I never seen someone like this, my heart will be exploit whit emotion!!!

Yes, you can clearly see the comendatore is pissed! not stif performing but more acting comes back in opera. I love it!

This is the best video version I've seen on this scene... flawless. I saw the opera a couple years ago in Toronto and it was stage badly... no ghost, no demons... and Don didn't even disappear through the floor boards, he was still on the floor in the next scene where they the people are saying,,, where is Don... incredibly unspooky... and near halloween..

Now THIS is what this scene is all about!

This is metal AF

This is an awesome performance.

This is perfection....

Posiblemente una de las mejores versiones, bravisimo!!!

Wow.... bravissimi cantanti, splendida regia e bellissimi tempi! Mi è piaciuto un sacco!

Cannot understand how people can dislike such a majestic peace of art !!!

What a powerfull bass!

Legendary performance

Wow! How have I not seen this version before?! What a fantastic rendition!

When Beethoven travelled to Vienna around 1786, he met Mozart briefly. More did not come off the meeting because Beethoven was only in Vienna for a few weeks before having to return to Bonn due to his ill mother. But also, Mozart's wife was sick at the time and Mozart was thick deep in composing "Don Giovanni" so the maestro didn't have the time/energy to spare. Beethoven likely later saw "Don Giovanni" performed in Bonn.

A hideg kiráz e jelenetről...Bravo!

BRAVO! Outstanding version of this magnificent opera!

I love this scene.. It is so intense 😍

Solo quien ha perdido a su padre entiende la esencia de esta escena magistral!!!

Дякую за насолоду.

Fantastic

A gentle stab of BEAUTY, a violent caress of TERROR! How chilling was Amadeus's mind?.

I think 'leporello' is casted, and acts very good!An underestimated role but very important for the story..

Eccezionale, meraviglioso, il più bel finale che abbia mai visto. Regia al massimo

Having sung THE COMMENDATORE a few times myself in the days before Super Titles, I always thought that LEPORELLO should sing “ What’s wrong” & not the Statue. Thanks for pointing that out Mr. D!

Absolutely spectacular.

After watching more than 6 interpretations of this scene, I have to say that Kurt Moll's voice is still my favourite.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart a fost un compozitor austriac, unul din cei mai prodigioși și talentați creatori în domeniul muzicii clasice. Anul 2006, cu ocazia jubileului a 250 de ani de la nașterea compozitorului, în Austria și Germania a fost cunoscut ca „Anul muzical Mozart”. Wikipedia Născut: 27 ianuarie 1756, Salzburg, Austria Decedat: 5 decembrie 1791, Viena, Austria Gen muzical: Clasic Instrument(e): Pian și vioară Frați și surori: Maria Anna Mozart Compoziții Recviem Flautul fermecat simfonia 40

Just sublime...!

Stefan Kocan, another great Slovak opera singer better known worldwide rather than in his beautiful homecountry Slovakia. We are proud of him. Bravo!

Chi odia l'opera e critica quelli a cui non piace la nutella è veramente un ipocrita

Magnificent!

Stunning! I CRY!!!

a really great performance.

I've seen this, magnificent! :)

Wow..... What a Performance... The stage was just unbelievable! Who thought of that. Bravo!

Interpretazione magistrale; scena resa in modo splendido. Grandi cantanti e grandi attori. Bravi, bravi, bravi

Sem dúvida uma obra prima. Cena impactante ! Que música!

"Wolfie.......you father is dead." *music plays*

Lo que más disfruté de este vídeo, además del efecto del fuego y las voces del coro de demonios, fue la ovación del público. ¡Maravillosos los aplausos!

O forever haunt me, Ghost! A sensual opera, indeed. Thank you, Masterplan HD.

This was a really well done version of this scene, and I especially like that the Commendatore was not so stiff and was genuinely menacing. This is probably the best Commendatore of the ones that I have seen.

¡Genial, una pieza de arte que te provoca tantas emociones posibles!

Mozart will never go out of style ☯️☯️🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️💫💫❤❤

Holy shit that was fantastic

Mozart must have known the Emperor in Star Wars.

This scared the crap out of me when I was a kid

beautiful production

Excellent ! Un affrontement sans pitié, voix de basse et de baryton à la note près ! Merci pour cette publication, nous en manquons cruellement de cette qualité en France, sans parler des mise en scène ternes, tristes...
