Often regarded as the greatest opera of all time, Mozarts Don Giovanni recounts the adventures of an incorrigible young, seducer constantly in search of his next conquest. As the day unfolds Giovanni\'s attempts to seduce are constantly thwarted. First he inadvertently murders the father of his latest conquest in a duel. Next, Donna Elvira appears and claims Giovanni is her husband, and finally, the peasant girl Zerlina inexplicably repels his advances.
