Hvorostovsky - Fin ch’han dal vino in Don Giovanni Unmasked

This is a second upload of this; it’s of better quality than the first one. “This inspired adaptation of ’Don Giovanni’ is a reworking of the Mozart opera from the point of view of Don Giovanni’s servant, Leporello. Taking the form of a film within a film, DON GIOVANNI UNMASKED is simultaneously set in two separate eras - 1930s Hollywood and 17th century Spain. When it opens in 1930, Leporello is presented as the host of a movie that reveals the long-standing secret of his master’s identity in 1620 Seville. Through the clever implementation of visual effects, Hvorostovsky performs the two lead roles of the opera - Don Giovanni and Leporello.“ ...interpreted as his alter ego. My opinion? It’s marvellous! :-) Finch’ han del vino calda la testa, Una gran festa fa’ preparar. Se trovi in piazza qualche ragazza, Teco ancor quella cerca menar. Senza alcun ordine la danza sia, Chi ’l minuetto chi la follia, Chi l’ alemanna farai ballare. Ed io frattanto dall’ altro canto Con questa e quella vo’ amoreggiar. Ah la mia lista doman mattina D’ una decina devi aumentare. Till they have got some wine and are hot-headed, let’s prepare a great party. If in the piazza you find some girl, try to make her come here with you. Let the dance be wild, a menuet, a folia, and an allemande you shall lead. In the meanwhile I shall have my own fun making love to this or that girl. Ah, my list tomorrow morning shall have at least ten new entries.
