Mozart's classic opera buffa live from the Theater an der Wien. The figure of a well-born, randy young man who tramples over the conventions of society in pursuit of his own pleasures is an ancient one, but it was a 16th-century Spanish monk who embodied these attributes in the figure of Don Juan, the philanderer of Seville. His intriguing version of the libidinous character in a setting where family honour and female virginity were almost as precious as religious beliefs appealed to Mozart, who was lucky in having the words of his opera provided by Lorenzo da Ponte - a man who could easily have drawn directly on his own experiences as a lothario for the plot, for he too had been chased out of more than one town when his amorous adventures with other men's wives and mistresses were discovered.
