Don Giovanni - Jonathan Miller (ed.)
Myths of seduction and betrayal
KORTE INHOUD
In 1985 Jonathan Miller achieved notoriety for his bold, radical interpretation of Don Giovanni at the English National Opera.
In the course of his preparation for that production, some new and intriguing ideas about the opera's dramatic substance emerged. Miller then invited a diverse and impressive group of authors and educators to write about different aspects of Don Giovanni's historical, philosophical, and psychological roots.
