| Summary |
"Set in Seville in the 1600s, [the plot centers on the] young nobleman Don Giovanni [who] is a well-known philanderer with a long list of amorous conquests. After he attempts to seduce the beautiful Donna Anna, her father's battle to protect her ends in tragedy. Anna and her finacé, Ottavio, pledge to seek revenge. While Don Giovanni continues to charm and trick the local women, his inevitable dramatic fate is soon upon him."--Container. |
