Part 1
Like Goossen's earlier opera, Judith, Don Yuan de Manara (which was produced at Covent Garden in 1937) has a libretto by Arnold Bennett. Based on a play by the elder Dumas, it tells a different story from that of Mozart's opera. Its central figure is a libertine who lived in the seventeenth century and whose exploits are comparable with those of his more famous prototype. At the end he is confronted by the spectres of all the men and women he has killed and wronged. His life is forfeit and can only be redeemed by the love of a pure woman. She appears in the person of a nun who offers her life for his. The spectres then vanish; the Don, penitent at last, becomes a monk; and a choir of nuns proclaims the divine mercy. Harold Rutland
