Raimondi: Don Giovanni (Ruggero Raimondi/ Orchestra and Chorus of the Teatro Communale di Bologna/ Riccardo Chailly/ Luca Ronconi) (Euroarts: 2001828)

My Favourite Opera a new series of EuroArts: Here we study the results of involvement with a specific role. We witness musical and stage rehearsals in 1992, listen to what the artists have to say about the work in progress and share in private moments.

World famous bass-baritone Ruggero Raimondi returns to his birthplace of Bologna to perform the title role in Mozart's masterwork ""Don Giovanni"" at the historic Teatro Comunale - a role he has performed over 400 times world-wide.

He worked alongside conductor Riccardo Chailly and stage director Luca Ronconi as well as a distinguished cast of fellow singers. As the production develops he takes time out to reflect on his career with his family in the beautiful Italian countryside, coaches students at the Bologna Conservatory who are themselves studying Don Giovanni, and reflects on the character of another great operatic Don, Massenets Don Quichotte, inspired by Cervantes immortal Don Quixote.

This intimate portrait of a great opera singer also reveals how an opera production is created at the highest level.
