- DirectorJoseph LoseyStarsRuggero RaimondiJohn MacurdyEdda MoserMozart's opera in lush sets: Don Giovanni, the infamous womanizer, kills Donna Anna's father. He is then chased by Donna Anna's fiancé, Don Ottavio, as well as Donna Elvira, one of his former conquests. But the real threat lies elsewhere.My favourite of the filmed versions. Raimondi wonderful, so menacing. Kiri te Kanawa superb.
- DirectorGary HalvorsonStarsBryn TerfelRenée FlemingPaul GrovesDon Giovanni is the man every woman wants, and every man wants to be. But when he commits murder in his pursuit of women and pleasure, and later insults the statue of the man he killed, there is Hell to pay.
- DirectorJonathan HaswellStarsErwin SchrottRoberto TagliaviniPetros MagoulasKasper Holten's visually striking production accentuates the beauty and invention of Mozart's dazzling tragicomedy.Erwin Schrott is tremendous as the Don, he's got the voice, the gestures, everything. Set is brilliant, a revolving house with balcony. My favourite video.

- DirectorAndrea BevilacquaStarsAlex EspositoIrina LunguSaimir PirguCarlos Alvarez not in his best voice having to deal with the vastness of Arena di Verona, happily the supporting cast is good.
