What happens in the story?
It is the last day of Don Giovanni’s life, but he doesn’t know that.For the libertine, it’s just another day of pleasure-seeking: breaking into a bedroom, killing a victim’s father and seducing a bride on her wedding day.
But despite his impressive track record, Don Giovanni’s luck is beginning to run out.

And Don Giovanni has just heard a voice from beyond the grave, warning of his impending punishment.
