Don Giovanni is an opera in two acts with music by the Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and libretto by the Italian author Lorenzo Da Ponte. Its premiere took place at the Prague Theatre on 29 October 1787, a venue specialising in Italian opera, now known as the Theatre of the Nobles.
Da Ponte’s libretto was classified as a ‘drama giocoso’. Mozart classified the work as an ‘opera buffa’. The work is considered one of the masterpieces in the history of opera.
