Daniel Barenboim has just announced that he will open his era as La Scala music director with Don Giovanni on December 7, introducing Anna Netrebko in her house debut as Donna Anna.

Peter Maffei takes the title role, with Bryn Terfel as Leporello and Barbara Frittoli as Donna Elvira.

Not bad for an opening lineup.
