Act
I Spain, mid-18th century. Leporello, servant to the
nobleman Don Giovanni,
keeps watch outside the Commendatore’s home at night.
Suddenly,
the Commendatore’s daughter, Donna Anna, rushes out
of the building,
struggling with the masked Giovanni and followed by
her father.
The Commendatore challenges Giovanni to a duel and is
killed. Giovanni
and Leporello escape. Anna asks her fiancé, Don
Ottavio, to avenge
her father’s death.
In
the morning, Giovanni and Leporello encounter one of
Giovanni’s former
conquests, Donna Elvira, who is devastated by his betrayal.
Leporello
tells her she is neither the first nor the last of his
master’s victims
and shows her his catalogue with the name of every woman
Giovanni
has seduced.
Peasants
celebrate the marriage of Masetto and Zerlina. Giovanni
flirts with
the bride, telling her she is destined for a better
life. But Elvira tells Zerlina
to flee her suitor. She also warns Anna, who is still
unaware of the identity
of her father’s murderer and has asked Giovanni for
help in finding
the man. Giovanni, for his part, insists that Elvira
is mad, and Anna
and Ottavio wonder what to believe. As Giovanni leaves,
Anna suddenly
recognizes his voice as that of the murderer. Devastated
but determined,
she once more asks Ottavio to avenge her. He wonders
how to
restore her peace of mind. Giovanni, who has invited
the entire wedding
party to his home, looks forward to an evening of drinking
and
dancing.
Outside
Giovanni’s home, Zerlina asks Masetto to forgive her.
Giovanni enters
and leads them both inside. Anna, Elvira, and Ottavio
appear masked
and are invited in by Leporello. In the ballroom, Giovanni
dances
with Zerlina, then again tries to seduce her. When she
cries for help,
Giovanni blames Leporello. Anna, Elvira, and Ottavio
take off their
masks and, along with Zerlina and Masetto, accuse Giovanni,
who is
momentarily surprised but manages to slip away.
