“The day before the performance, Mozart told his wife that he was going to write the overture during the night and asked her to make him a punch and stay with him to keep him awake. […] But Mozart fell asleep so well that Constance did not wake him until five o'clock. At seven o'clock, the opening was on paper. The copyists had a hard time getting ready, and the opera orchestra performed it perfectly at first glance. "- GEORG NIKOLAUS VON NISSEN, BIOGRAPHER OF WA MOZART

The second collaboration between Mozart and Da Ponte was destined for Prague where the success of the Nozze had been such that a new order was placed in 1787. The result was this absolute masterpiece, Il dissoluto punito ossia il Don Giovanni , l opera which, with Die Zauberflöte, would shine in a unique way on the future. It is about love, a permanent theme in Mozart. Don Giovanniis unique because it does not involve real couples in love. The tasty "air of the catalog" is only a comical but accounting inventory. There is no love duet. Even the famous “La ci darem la mano” is closer to an erotic promise than a declaration. Here, love is one-sided. Ottavio loves Anna who makes him feel bad. The young Masetto loves the sassy Zerlina and Elvira loves Don Giovanni who doesn't love any… but wants them all! A meditation on love and seduction ...
