1999-2000-Reinhard Hagen as the Commendatore. He at least made an imposing presence as a man of stone./ Review |
Kristinn Sigmundsson should be given an honorary Adler fellowship, he keeps recurring in small-yet-important parts this season: King Mark in Tristan & Isolde, Sparafucile in Rigoletto and now the Commendatore, in a frightening fight scene between the ghost and Don Giovanni. We still have goose bumps from it./ Review |
Kristinn Sigmundsson was brave and scary, by turns, as the Commendatore..With the comic elements kept in check, the essential tragedy of Don Giovanni and the effects of his amorality on those around him come to the fore. In too many productions, the comedy is overdone to the point that Donna Anna and Don Ottavio seem out of place, but not here. The Commendatore’s death leads naturally to Don Giovanni’s/ SFCV |
