Overture

I: "Notte e giorno a faticar"

I: "Ah, soccorso! Son tradito!"

I: "Leporello, dove sei?"

I: "Ah del padre in periglio"

I: "Ma qual mai s’offre, oh Dei… Fuggi, crudele, fuggi!"

I: "Orsù, spicciati presto"

I: "Ah, chi mi dice mai"

I: "Chi è là?"

I: "Madamina"

I: "In questa forma"

I: "Giovinette che fate all'amore"

I: "Manco male è partita"

I: "Ho capito, signor sì!"

I: "Alfin siam liberati"

I: "Là ci darem la mano"

I: "Fermati, scellerato!"

I: "Ah! fuggi il traditor!"

I: "Mi par ch'oggi il demonio"

I: "Non ti fidar, o misera"

I: "Povera sventurata!"

I: "Don Ottavio, son morta!"

I: "Or sai chi l'onore"

I: "Come mai creder deggio"

I: "Dalla sua pace"

I: "Io deggio ad ogni patto"

I: "Finch'han dal vino"

I: "Masetto, senti un po'"

I: "Batti, batti, o bel masetto"

I: "Guarda un po'"

I: "Presto, presto, pria ch'ei venga"

I: "Tra quest'abori celata"

I: "Bisogna aver coraggio"

I: "Protegga il giusto cielo..."

I: "Riposate, vezzose ragazze"

I: "Venite pur avanti"

I: "Ecco il birbo che t'ha offesa!"

I: "Trema, trema o scellerato!"

II: "Eh via, buffone, non me seccar!"

II: "Leporello! ...Signore?"

II: "Ah taci, ingiusto core!"

II: "Amico, che ti par?"

II: "Deh vieni alla finestra"

II: "V'è gente alla finestra"

II: "Metà di voi qua vadano"

II: "Zitto, lascia che i senta"

II: "Vedrai, carino"

II: "Di molte faci il lume"

II: "Dunque quello sei tu"

II: "Ah, pietà, signori miei!"

II: "Ferma, perfido, ferma!"

II: "In quali eccessi"

II: "Mi tradì quell'alma ingrata"

II: "Ah, ah, ah, questa è buona"

II: "O statua gentilissima"

II: "Calmatevi, idol mio!"

II: "Non mi dir, bell'idol mio"

II: "Già la mensa è preparata"

II: "L'ultima prova dell'amor mio"

II: "Che grido è questo mai?"

II: "Don Giovanni, a cenar teco"

II: "Da qual temore insolito"

II: "Ah dov'è il perfido?"

II: "Questo è il fin"

Program notes

On 29th October 1787, the curtain of the National Theater in Prague rose upon the set of Mozart’s Don Giovanni, now regarded as one of the world’s greatest operatic masterpieces. Over two centuries later, the magic lives on in the Staatsoper Berlin’s spectacular adaptation under the musical direction of Thomas Guggeis! An all-star cast, including celebrated baritone Michael Volle as Don Giovanni and renowned sopranos Elsa Dreisig and Slávka Zámečníková as Donna Elvira and Donna Anna, breathe exhilarating life into the vision of stage director Vincent Huguet.

The opera revolves around the escapades of libertine seducer Don Giovanni, who attempts to court Donna Anna (Don Ottavio’s fiancée), Donna Elvira (a former, forgotten lover), and Zerlina (Masetto’s fiancée), with the help of his servant Leporello. Passion clashes with melodrama as the incorrigible protagonist blazes the path to his own demise by killing II Commendatore (Donna Anna’s father) in a duel. After dismissing the advice of II Commendatore’s ghost, Don Giovanni is forced to endure the consequences of his sinful behavior and perishes in the flames of Hell.

Termed an opera buffa by the composer himself, Don Giovanni is an outrageous blend of supernatural and comic, burlesque and tragedy. Drawing inspiration from Molière’s play Don Juan and the myth of Tirso de Molina, Mozart treads the musical crossroads of fantasy and reality with the guidance of Lorenzo Da Ponte’s libretto. From the thundering and imposing cadence of the Overture (composed during the night of October 28-29, 1787, the night before the first performance), to the mellifluous tone of the Dalla sua pace aria, Don Giovanni represents the best of classical opera— with Tchaikovsky remarking that he was “in the presence of divinity” upon seeing the original manuscript.
