Act 2 opens before the house of Dnnnn Elvira , n forsaken victim of Giovanni, who is now in pursuit of Zerlina, a peasant girl in Elvira's service. He exchanges cloaks with his servant Leporello and sends him to call upon Elvira while Giovanni gives his attention t) Zerlina. They are disturbed by Masetto, Zerlina's betrothed, but Giovanni beats him and gets away. In Elvira's house 3 the pretended Giovanni is soon dis- covered by Elvira, Anna, and Ottavio f to be only Leporello, and their suspicion of Giovanni's villainy is still. further confirmed.
The fourth scene is a graveyard.
To Giovanni comes Leporello to , warn his master of his danger, but the libertine is in too high spirits to consider the warning. A hollow voice, however, now comes from a statue close by. It is that of the dead Commander, exhorting Giovanni to repent. Giovanni insolently invites the statue to sup with him. In the last scene, Giovanni is seated at table attended by Leporello. Giovanni opens the door to the ghostly statue of the Commander, who, after further exhortations, seizes Don Giovanni , and, the ground opening, draws him down into the flaming abyss.
