Mozart and Da Ponte's comedy of seduction and damnation, retold as a novel. A nobleman who has run out of everything but appetite spends one last day and night outrunning the dead: the catalogue of conquests, the country wedding he spoils, the masked ball, the cemetery where a statue answers him, and the lit supper room where the stone guest finally comes. Don Giovanni: An Overture slows the fastest of operas to the size of the people its hero runs over. Part of the Overture Series - operas told as novels, written to be read in the weeks before you go, or while the music plays. Paced to Gardiner's 1994 recording.
