1999-2000-Dmitri Hvorostovsky
1999-2000-Thanks to some negative publicity, many opera-goers expected the San Francisco Opera's new production of Don Giovanni to be a loser --...The idea that Dmitri Hvorostovsky was somehow stiff and uninteresting in the leading role seemed to persist -- yet I found him to be a charming, even charismatic presence. .. he was a fine physical embodiment of Mozart's hyper-sexed anti-hero, and he sang the whole role in an altogether seductive tone. So what if the misguided stage director decided to make Hvorostovsky imitate Douglas Fairbanks in a rope-swinging aerial exit at the end ./ Review
Mariusz Kwiecie?
2006-2007
Mariusz Kwiecie? swaggers as Don Giovanni, readily dominating his social inferiors./ SFCV
The music's balance of exuberance and demonic drive was beautifully rendered, Kwiecien's singing was robust and well defined, and the two established a headlong tempo that never faltered. The result was an invitation to a party that you would be equally afraid of missing or attending./SFGate
