Conductor Jan Latham-Koenig and stage director Kristine McIntyre led a nearly ideal cast, beginning with Brandon Cedel’s Giovanni, which was dashing—to say the least—as evidenced by the breadth of his vocalism and the physicality that permeated his interactions with every other character. Cedel amped up his singing little by little as the evening progressed, providing fluid recitative, a sotto voce rendition of “Deh vieni alla finestra,” eventually delivering brash, emboldened singing just before meeting his ultimate demise at the hand of Leporello, played by Milanese bass-baritone Giovanni Romeo.”
