Story Synopsis:
The story of Don Giovanni centers around a young nobleman who is obsessed with amorous conquest, It follows his romantic ex-ploits and continued encounters with Donna Anna, the woman who plots to destroy him.
LaserDisc Picture:
The picture has been matted at 1.66:1, a European standard aspect ratio. The ap-pearance is washed out and wanting in de-tail and sharpness. Color fidelity is extremely poor as is contrast. Noticeable grain and noise is apparent throughout as well as distracting artifacts which suggest that the transfer element was a bad print.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The performance features the orchestra and chorus of The Paris Opera.
