Synopsis
Don Giovanni
DON GIOVANNI, THE FALL OF THE GREAT SEDUCER
Listen to the Music & Opera playlist :
Inspired by the play by the Spaniard Tirso de Molina and Molière's Don Juan, Don Giovanni is one of Mozart's most accomplished works, and above all one of his richest and most musically complex.
Through the themes of desire, transgression and punishment, the opera asks the great questions of the human condition, based on a libretto by Da Ponte. Mozart's music is among his most accomplished. If musicologists sometimes consider this work to be ‘the opera of operas’, it is also because it represents a successful transition between ancient scenic and musical forms and the emergence of modern musical drama.
Don Giovanni, an opera in two acts from 1787, evokes the dissolute life of a seducer and his punishment. The work is set mainly in Seville. For betraying his wife Donna Elvira, seducing and abandoning Donna Anna and killing her father, but also for defying moral laws, Don Giovanni is dragged down to hell by the statue of the Commander.
