"Virginia Opera's production of Mozart's "Don Giovanni" which opened Saturday evening at the Harrison Opera House did the amazing – it did not have imbalances and succeeded on every level. Being one of the greatest of all operas, the experience was one of the best offered by the company in recent years, and one that could rival those of bigger companies. Leading the music, conductor Joseph Walsh moved the long story forward at a fast pace, keeping the listener alert by connecting sections of recitative and aria tightly. He drew a polished, energetic performance from the members of the Virginia Symphony Orchestra in the pit, every bit of fast figuration under control."
