Maritina Tampakopoulos / Rezensionen

Equally exciting dramatically and vocally was Maritina Tampakopoulos as Donna Elvira. One of the funniest scenes of the production was watching her tear the pages out of Leporello’s little book in which he kept track of his master’s conquests. She sailed through both of her big arias with accuracy, fire and fury. Tampakopoulo’s take on this forlorn woman was a tad arch, which only made it all the more pitiful to watch her come to grips with Don Giovanni’s duplicity and lasciviousness; she had indeed loved him, a point often lost amid the histrionics.
