Summary/Abstract: Bogucki analyzes Mozart’s Don Giovani as staged by Peter Sellars, from an anthropological and sociological perspective. He stresses Sellars’ roots in the counter-culture, and as a man who believes that opera is primarily a social art, and the one with the greatest effect on contemporary viewers. Bogucki believes that by bringing race issues into his production, Sellars demonstrates that the Enlightenment community central to Mozart’s original opera remains a phantasmagorical undertaking.
