Don Giovanni is a Spanish nobleman who collects sexual adventures like other people collect stamps. His servant Leporello keeps a meticulous record of this. The aristocratic Donna Anna, who had long been promised to someone else, appeals to him just as much as the young farmer's wife Zerlina on the day of her wedding. But all of a sudden he doesn't want to succeed anymore: Donna Anna's conquest fails and ends with the death of her father, another beauty turns out to be the former lover Elvira and he doesn't get to his goal with Zerlina either. It seems as if fate has turned against him and will now challenge him as he has challenged society. Full of high spirits, he invites the statue of Donna Anna's dead father to dinner - the unbelievable happens and the Commendatore actually appears. How will this showdown end?

This brilliant opera inspires music connoisseurs and lovers, as it offers a perfect connection between the drama of the serious opera world of Donna Anna, her father and Don Ottavio on the one hand and the buffonesque goings-on of the simple people on the other hand, for which Don Giovanni's servant Leporello stands above all. Its register aria, like Don Giovanni's champagne aria and the arias of Don Ottavio, are among the most popular numbers of the work, which is also rich in magnificent ensembles. ETA Hoffmann declared Mozart's »Don Giovanni« the »opera of all operas«
