0The Beginning of the Story
The story takes place in 17th century Spain.
Don Giovanni, an aristocrat who is a womanizer of the highest order, has his sights set on a woman and is about to crawl on her again this evening.
Leporello, his squire, stands guard, grumbling about his master's repeated misdeeds.
This time it is Donna Anna.
But she notices an uninvited guest and calls for help.
Her father, the knight-errant who rushes in, is furious with the intruder, Don Giovanni, and challenges him to a duel...

What fate awaits Don Giovanni?
Will he ever repent?
Please enjoy this performance with the beautiful and moving music of Mozart's genius.
