Mebbe so, Jack, but for the purposes of creating a sort of Scottish "ambiance," kilts are a lot more appropriate than tuxedos, even if NEITHER are historically accurate.

Mozart? Right you are, Steve!

Here's a concert presentation of the love (seduction) duet between Don Giovanni (Italian for "Don Juan") and Zerlina, a highly impressionable little country girl, sung by hunky Russian baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky and the lovely American soprano Renée Fleming. CLICKY. I get a kick out of the way, even in a concert situation, he starts to drag her off the stage to look for a convenient haystack.

Renée Fleming once commented in an interview that when doing love scenes and seduction scenes with Hvorostovsky, she doesn't have to act, panted a bit, and fanned herself with her hand.

Early in the opera, Don Giovanni seduces the daughter of the Commendatore. The Commendatore rushes in, sword in hand, and Giovanni kills him. Later, mockingly, Giovanni invites a statue of the Commentatore to dinner.

Conceive his surprise when the statue arrives at the appointed time! And drags the unrepentant Don Giovanni down to Hell! CLICKY. (Thomas Ramey, baritone and Kurt Moll, bass).
