Mozart's audacious opera Don Giovanni was his second joint undertaking with librettist Lorenzo de Ponte (after Figaro and before Così). It has been delighting audiences ever since its premiere in 1787.

Don Giovanni is a serial seducer, an obsessive-compulsive narcissist who flaunts society's rules—which eventually brings about his downfall. We follow him on his round of amorous exploits in the company of his shrewd servant Leporello, until he is hounded by the ghost of a man he murdered.

This opera blends tragedy and comedy, combining enchanting music with a central character of fascinating psychological complexity.
