La Scala's Risky Choice of Conductor Pays Off in `Don Giovanni'
By Shirley Apthorp
Oct. 11 (Bloomberg) -- La Scala's new ``Don Giovanni'' is nihilist, minimalist and high-risk.
Blank walls, black-and white-costumes and a total absence of frippery characterize Peter Mussbach's somber take on Mozart's work, heralding closer links between the Milanese house and the distant Berlin Staatsoper. With Daniel Barenboim as the new La Scala guest conductor and guiding musical light, it makes sense for the head of his Berlin house to stage an opera in Milan.
