Mozart had an uncanny knack for aggravating the aristocrats who were his employers. His previous opera, The Marriage of Figaro, depicted servants who always outwitted their masters. Now, with Don Giovanni, he turns what had been a silly stock comedy piece into a morality play in which the protagonist is another aristocrat, this one licentious and gluttonous, who commits rape and murder. And in the end he's dragged screaming into Hell, without even dying first. Emperor Joseph didn't know what to make of it: "Not the meat for my Viennese public, dear Mozart." Mozart replied: "Then give them some time to chew it."

It's been 20 years since Wotan sent Brunnhilde to bed without supper... By now, the twins' baby Siegfried has grown up, never gone to school, can barely write his name in the ground with a stick, and he's never known fear, which makes him seem more brave than stupid. He sets off to do manly things and have manly adventures, like killing his guardian, slaying a dragon, stealing the Ring, when he sees a rocky summit that's on fire. What's up there, he wonders, so he goes to check that out, and finds Brunnhilde. They fall in love. He doesn't know that this is his grandfather's step-daughter, which makes her his aunt. His very favorite, special Aunt, if you catch my drift...

The oft-told tale of the scientist Faust, who sold his soul to the devil in exchange for an extra 24 years to live, is updated, apparently happening entirely in the confines of Faust's lab, which makes the Act 2 carnival hard to fathom. on the plus side, Jonas Kaufmann as Faust and Rene Pape as Mephistopheles are both in fine form here, especially in the devil's sardonic aria, "Vous qui faites l'endormie" (in other words, "put a ring on it").

They might have called it "Placido on the half-shell.." An outrageous and ingenious mix 'n' match of music by Handel, Rameau, Vivaldi set to a mash-up storyline borrowed from The Tempest (Shakespeare) and Island of Enchantments (John Dryden). It's ingenious; it works; and Placido Domingo's entrance is a show-stopper.

Siegfried and Brunnhilde have been shacking up for a while, but he's itching to do manly things again. Brunnhilde sends him out with her horse, Grane: just be back in time for supper. Well, that never happens, because Siegfried is tricked into drinking a potion which makes him fall in love with someone else, and then they trick him into kidnapping Brunnhilde. Why do they want her? She has the Ring; it was Siegfried's wedding present. More dirty tricks and double-dealings; Siegfried ends up dead. Brunnhilde has had enough of this, tosses the Ring into the river, and torches the place. Somehow that causes The Entire World to catch fire and nothing is left but the Rhine River.

Ernani, an outlawed nobleman, is heading a resistance effort against Don Carlo, who killed Ernani's father. The rebel also is planning to elope with his beloved, Elvira. Unfortunately, Don Carlo also has designs on Elvira... In his early years, Verdi's librettos are rife with Ridiculous Coincidences and Preposterous Plot Twists, and Ernani is no exception. It's the music that lifts it from the laughably absurd to another realm. His Nabucco brought him fame throughout Italy, but Ernani pushed him onto the world stage. Within a year it was being performed throughout Europe; Verdi had arrived.

The Parisian courtesan with a heart of gold and dignity to die for (literally), and how she was wronged by the cruel society that used her but would not forgive her. And yes, she will die before it's all over, and she will have sacrificed everything; and it's sad and tragic, and it will be too late to make matters right with her; that's why that big clock is ticking away in the background like that, just in case you were wondering.
