Trivia
This opera film features one character who does not appear in the original source Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart 'Don Giovanni' opera, a Valet in Black. The screenplay described this character as "an observer whose presence must always be felt, the guardian - in metaphysical terms - of Don Giovanni's soul". The Valet in Black is present and unspoken in nearly every scene that Don Giovanni is in.

Cinema marries opera

To make a movie based on an opera is a different thing from filming an opera on stage. Cinema and opera are 2 different forms of art each one with its specific techniques. Nevertheless one can be at the other's service and if the match is excellent the merits of them both will be enhanced. That's what happens with this excellent movie where we can enjoy Mozart's music and the singing talents of such extraordinary artists like Kiri Te Kanawa and others besides a lot of gorgeous and dynamic movie images, sceneries, shots and superb cut and editing. The plot everyone knows: the adventures and misadventures of D. Giovanni the king of philanderers of all times and a more or less disguised attack on aristocracy and its immoral behaviour. We are on the eve of the French Revolution and as everybody also knows Mozart was a freemason and a democrat.
