Don Giovanni Mozart

Don Giovanni – Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

 

“The opera of all operas.” (E.T.A. Hoffmann)

 

The eminent adaptation of the figure of Don Juan has received supreme praise from so many iconic minds since its advent in 1787 amid a revolutionary time. Mozart and librettist da Ponte managed to present a new kind of philosophical opera with political implications – and with a titular character who tests the boundaries of the ideas of the time to the extreme. Those ideas have not gone away.

 

Don Giovanni is a character that is ripe for psychological interpretation regarding human motivation, as are all the other characters as they react to him. His individualistic defiance against limitations directly links to the Greek hero breaking through to new possibilities of the human condition and the birth of Tragedy.

 

And that makes him as alluring to his conquests as Mozart’s best music.

 

“The three most beautiful things that God has made are the sea, Hamlet and Mozart's Don Giovanni” (Gustave Flaubert)
