Mozart wrote "Don Giov anni" in 1787, shortly after the successful opera, "The Marriage of Figaro. " This opera, based on the Don Juan legend, is a morality play in which the main character is punished for living an immoral life. Beethoven considere d "Don Giovanni" as the greatest opera ever composed. It is a brilliant com bination of stark human tragedy and touching comedy, set to music of limitl ess genius. Mozart's opera has been described as a comedy, and it has any n umber of uproarious moments. But there is more to "Don Giovanni" than just a series of big laughs, just as the notorious Don is more than an unprincip led single-minded ladies' man.
