		When Don Giovanni, pleased at the prospect of another conquest, approaches to comfort her, she recognizes him as the man who married and abandoned her.

	Don Giovanni
		The Don makes a hasty exit and Leporello is left to catalogue the 2065 conquests of the Don to the hurt and indignant Elvira, who departs avowing vengeance on Giovanni, whom she still adores.
		Giovanni has spied a tempting conquest-to-be and Zerlina is flattered by the suave attentions of the cavalier, who orders Leporello to invite all to his castle to continue the celebrations there, whilst he celebrates alone with Zerlina, promising to marry her.
		Giovanni is forced to placate Leporello with a bribe so the disgruntled servant will remain with him, and then the Don proceeds to involve him in a new plot.

	Don Giovanni (Mozart) - Synopsis
		The duet which she sings with Don Ottavio is both impassioned and solicitous, impetuous on her part, solicitous on his; for the role of Don Ottavio is stamped with the delicacy of sentiment, the respectful reserve of a well-born youth who is consoling the woman who is to be his wife.
		Don Giovanni rushes out, sword in hand, dragging out with him none other than poor Leporello, whom he has opportunely seized in the entrance, and whom, under pretence that he is the guilty party, he threatens to kill in order to turn upon him the suspicion that rests upon himself.
		It is related by da Ponte that "my ‘Don Giovanni,’" as he called it, made such a success that a friend of his who always fell asleep at operatic performances, not only remained awake during the whole of "Don Giovanni," but told him he couldn’t sleep a wink the rest of the night for excitement.

	Great Performances - Don Giovanni Unmasked - Behind the Scenes
		Don Giovanni is, of course, the driving force behind the actions of all the characters.
		I think Anna and Ottavio feel the threat of the Don the most, not only because he is from and betrays their class, but because, existing on a highly restrictive social level, they have more to lose if their world is overturned.
		Ottavio stalked the Don alone; Masetto required a band of friends, and then made no effort even to fight back when attacked by one from his own class (though it is the Don in disguise, Masetto believes it is Leporello).

		Don Giovanni is an opera in Italian about a notorious Spanish libertine and whose music was composed by an Austrian and premiered in the Czech city of Prague.
		Leporello, the Don's servant, has many just complaints against the Don and is rightly critical of his seduction and rape of two thousand women in a variety of countries, but when he has the chance to take advantage of a woman, he proves that his own lusts are stronger than his convictions.
		Donna Anna and her finance, Don Ottavio speak many threatening words to avenge themselves against Don Giovanni, but are strangely impotent and hesitant to do so.

	Don Giovanni - Welsh National Opera in Plymouth : opera review
		The night, in which the opening scenes are set, emphasises the dark themes of Don Giovanni's cold heartedness, as do the undercurrents of the overture and much of the score.
		The third object of Don Giovanni's attentions, Natalie Christie's Zerlina, sings as prettily and as sensually as the character she portrays, manipulating Mazetto's affections in the same way that the philanderer does her own.
		Rather than being dragged down to face his demons, Giovanni confronts the flames of hell which are brought to him by hooded monk-like figures, and which are extinguished only when he descends, unrepentant, to his doom.

		Featuring one of the world's most sensational young baritones, Russia's Dmitri Hvorostovsky, this inspired adaptation of "Don Giovanni" retells the Mozart masterpiece from the point of view of Don Giovanni's servant, Leporello.
		When it opens in 1930, Leporello is presented as the host of a movie that reveals the long-standing secret of his master's identity in 1620 Seville.
		Through the intricate use of special visual effects, Hvorostovsky performs both roles of Leporello and Don Giovanni, transcending time and space to offer a tantalizing new perspective on Don Giovanni and his ultimately tragic romantic escapades.
