Prima del Teatro alla Scala, Stagione 2011/2012 - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Don Giovanni (Act 1) Don Giovanni (K. 527; complete title: Il dissoluto punito, ossia il Don Giovanni, literally The Rake Punished, or Don Giovanni) is an opera in two acts with music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and with an Italian libretto by Lorenzo Da Ponte. It was premiered by the Prague Italian opera at the Teatro di Praga (now called the Estates Theatre) on October 29, 1787. Act I Scene one A garden by night. Leporello, Don Giovanni's servant, is waiting for his master, who has entered the house of the Commendatore with intent to seduce that gentleman's daughter, Donna Anna.The Don emerges, pursued by the young lad (Introduction: Notte e giorno faticar). Donna Anna, who is betrothed to Don Ottavio, has managed to beat off her assailant and now attempts to discover his identity. Alerted by his daughter's cries, the Commendatore hurries to the scene, but is mortally wounded by Don Giovanni. Leporello and his master escape. When Donna Anna, who has gone to seek help, returns accompanied by her betrothed and several servants, she finds only the dead body of her father. Donna Anna enjoins Don Ottavio to swear vengeance on her father's murderer (Duet: Fuggi, crudele, fuggi). Scene two A street by night. Don Giovanni and Leporello, in search of fresh adventures, come across Donna Elvira, who was seduced and abandoned by Don Giovanni and has been looking for him to get her revenge (Aria: Ah chi mi dice mai). As soon as the rake recognizes Elvira as one of his previous amours, he goes off, leaving Leporello to explain to the lady the reason for his deserting her so suddenly. The servant then rattles off a long list of his master's conquests (Aria: Madamina, il catalogo è questo). Exit Donna Elvira, who is determined to punish her perjurious lover. Zerlina and Masetto, with a group of peasants, are celebrating their approaching marriage (Chorus: Giovinette che fate all'amore). Don Giovanni enters with Leporello and pays court to the bride. He invites the whole wedding party to his country house, and undertakes personally to escort Zerlina there. Masetto is led away on a pretext by Leporello, but has clearly grasped the situation and is anxious to put matters straight with Zerlina (Aria: Ho capito, signor sì). Left alone with the girl, Don Giovanni attempts to seduce her with gallant promises (Duettino: Là ci darem la mano). But the unexpected arrival of Donna Elvira, who denounces her betrayer and takes Zerlina aside, prevents him from implementing these designs (Aria: Ah fuggi il traditor). Meanwhile Donna Anna and Don Ottavio arrive. Not recognizing Don Giovanni as the Commendatore's assassin, they seek his assistance in punishing the culprit. When Donna Elvira reappears and reports her unfaithful lover's misdeeds (Quartet: Non ti fidar, o misera), Don Giovanni slips away. But Donna Anna has recognized his voice as that of her seducer and of the man who killed her father. She urges Don Ottavio to avenge the outrage without hesitation (Aria: Or sai chi l'onore). Don Ottavio in his turn vows to himself to carry out the wishes of his beloved (Aria: Dalla sua pace). In the meantime Don Giovanni directs preparations for the festivities, during which he hopes to possess the attractive young Zerlina (Aria: Fin ch'han dal vino). Scene three A garden with two gates locked on the outside. Two alcoves. Masetto rebukes Zerlina for her unfaithfulness, but his bride soothingly reassures him that her virtue has not been offended by the amorous knight (Aria: Batti, batti, o bel Masetto). Masetto however, when Don Giovanni arrives, hides in an alcove and spies on his advances to Zerlina. But the libertine, having noticed the bridegroom's presence, promptly invites him and Zerlina to the ball (Finale: Presto, presto, pria ch'ei venga). Three masked figures -- Don Ottavio, Donna Anna and Donna Elvira -- now enter in search of Don Giovanni, who does not recognize them and invites them too to the party. Scene four A brightly lit hall prepared for a lavish ball. During the festivities Don Giovanni attempts to seduce Zerlina, but his plan is thwarted by the arrival of Donna Anna, Don Ottavio and Donna Elvira. After trying in vain to put the blame on Leporello, and threatening everyone insight, Don Giovanni vanishes.
