"Don Giovanni" is one of Mozart's most significant and popular operas. This edition begins with a discussion of the comic elements of this unusual comic opera by Michael F. Robinson. An overall view of the score is given by David Wyn Jones, showing how Mozart maintained dramatic momentum over two long acts and giving an overview of the dramatic pacing and orchestration in some of the most important scenes. Christopher Raeburn concludes the commentary with an engaging portrait of Da Ponte, Mozart's 'libertine librettist', and his relationship with the composer. This edition contains more than twenty photographs covering performances of Don Giovanni to the present day, a detailed thematic analysis, the libretto in Italian with a facing literal translation, and an up-to-date discography and bibliography. "Overture Opera Guides" are an invaluable companion for lovers of opera and provide an insight for anyone wanting to explore opera in a little more detail.
