Overall I rate the weekend at Disney Hall highly. It's not often I can spend 3 days in the company of two music PhD's (Chris and Madeline), talking music and related subjects.
The Dude seems to be evolving quickly. I heard a broadcast of him and the LAPO doing a Mozart symphony not two years ago, and it was clear the idiom was new to him at that time. He's much more comfortable now, and although his conducting downplayed the high drama of "Don Giovanni", he did build to a rousing first act finale, and the second act was better still. I paid no attention to the staging most of the time, since it was so laughable. Singing was mostly excellent and the orchestra fabulous, at least from where I was sitting.
Money well spent.
