Hmmm - I studied Don Giovanni at university. It was my first exposure to a Mozart opera. At first I found it overly glib and fluent, but getting beyond that is the secret of understanding Mozart. After many auditions, I started to get the emotions beneath the surface, and the depth beneath the gloss. Try listening to one of the Solti Flutes, or watch the Bergman film, to get more out of Flute than you have. Mozart's operatic works are building blocks of Western Civilization, and you will be depriving yourself of something special if you don't work a little harder.
