I was watching Mozart's "Don Giovanni" the other day. It occurred to me
that it would make a wonderful vehicle for raising money for our poor
struggling USCF. Perhaps some wealthy chess benefactor would finance
the production. The roles would be filled by costumed, lip-syncing
chess personalities.
I have some preliminary ideas for casting...
============================================
Don Giovanni -- > Paul Truong
(a young, extremely licentious & treacherous nobleman)
Il Commendatore (Don Pedro) -- > Brian Lafferty
(Murder victim & eventual executioner of Don G.)
Donna Anna -- > Donna Alarie
(Daughter of Don Pedro who seeks vengeance)
Don Ottavio -- > Bill Goichberg
(Donna Anna's betrothed -- an ineffective good guy?)
Donna Elvira -- > Susan Polgar
(A lady seduced & abandoned by Don Giovanni who foolishly still loves him)
Leporello -- > Gregory Alexander
(Don Giovanni's cringing servant & accomplice)
Masetto -- > Sam Sloan
(Country bumpkin, wants to kill Don G.)
Zerlina -- > ??
(Bumpkin's betrothed, a target of Don G.)
Chorus -- > USCF delegates, members
(Potential victims)
============================================
I wonder who should play Zerlina opposite Sam Sloan?? Such a production
sounds very interesting to me. I might even shell out a few bucks for a
DVD of it...
