Mozart's Don Giovanni
Sir Charles Mackerras conducts the Scottish Chamber Orchestra in Mozart's Don Giovanni, in an outstanding recording made in 1996. Bo Skovhus stars in the title role.
This evening's Opera on 3 marks both Mozart's birthday, born January 27th 1756, and the 50th anniversary this year of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, with a remarkable recording from 1996 of one of Mozart's most celebrated works, Don Giovanni, conducted by Sir Charles Mackerras.
Bo Skovhus leads the stellar cast as the legendary bad boy, Don Giovanni, who hopes his womanising ways can continue unchecked - that is until he meets the ghost of the man he kills.
Kate Molleson introduces this performance in conversation with soprano Christine Brewer, who sings the role of Donna Anna, and she shares her memories of working with Mackerras.
