Don Giovanni



Don Giovanni (KV527) is an opera by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in two acts to a libretto by Lorenzo da Ponte. The opera is on 14 October 1787 first performed in Prague on the occasion of the wedding of a niece of Emperor Joseph II, but the official premiere was on 29 October that same year.

After a year the opera was staged in Vienna at the express request of Joseph II who never got to see the opera. The opera didn't catch on with the public in Vienna and was performed only a few times, despite attempts by Mozart and Da Ponte to the opera.

' Don Giovanni ' is still regularly performed in the larger opera houses. The opera belongs, together with Così fan tutte and Le Nozze di Figaro, Mozart's ' big three ' to the Italian.

One of the most remarkable performances of the opera, the film adaptation by Joseph Losey, which in various locations in Venice and Vicenza (including Palladio's Teatro Olimpico ) is included. The villa "La Rotonda" (also of the architect Palladio) plays a prominent role in this atmospheric film adaptation.
