Explanatory
Notes
The name Don Giovanni calls to mind the immortal masterpiece by
Mozart premiered in Prague in October 1787, but there is another Don
Giovanni, which was first performed in February of the same year in
Venice. The libretto was written by Giovanni Bertati, who was also a librettist
for Domenico Cimarosa's Il Matrimonio Segreto as well as other
operas, and it includes characters who do not appear in Mozart's work.
It is interesting to see how Guiseppe Gazzaniga, a popular composer of
the time, depicted the love life of the young nobleman much given to seduction.
Synopsis
Having failed to seduce Donna Anna, Don Giovanni kills her father, the
Commendatore, who had rushed to the site after hearing her shouts for
help. Even after this incident, he never alters his conduct and continues
to seduce Donna Ximena, Maturina, and other women. When he is having dinner
at his own home, however, a stone statue of the Commendatore appears and
throws him into the flames of hell. |
