Don Giovanni

A few weeks ago i got the privilege to go and see my first Opera in person, Don Giovanni. Don Giovanni is a womanizing noble man who's life in the fast lane is soon cut short and undone by his own  hubris.  
For my second trip to the Benedum theater I opted for a seat in the balcony this time instead of Orchestra seating. I enjoyed being high up a lot more for this show, being able to see every thing that was going on stage without having to strain my neck to get a glimpse.  I was very surprised by this opera I went in expecting a sad story but almost immediately i found myself laughing throughout the show.  I was very pleased by home comical the opera was and the actors had no trouble making the audience laugh when needed.  An although like in any opera there is a death scene in the end, it wasn't an emotional heart wrenching scene, on the contrary i bet a number of people including myself were very pleased to see the lead actor perish and be pulled into hell.
Overall I had a good time at my first opera, and I am very glad I picked Don Giovanni as my first.
