(There we will entwine our hands, Duet) Act I
Don Giovanni seduces Zerlina.
"Don Giovanni" was premiered in the Estates Theatre in Prague on October 29, 1787. Da Ponte's libretto was billed like many of its time as dramma giocoso, a term that denotes a mixing of serious and comic action. Mozart entered the work into his catalogue as an "opera buffa". Although sometimes classified as comic, it blends comedy, melodrama and supernatural elements.

But he's such a beautiful man! They made him look old and degenerated... perhaps no accident?
