The character’s reckless pursuits in Don Giovanni lead him into a tragic chain of events. It begins with his attempt to seduce Donna Anna.

Swearing vengeance, she implores her fiancé, Don Ottavio, to bring her father’s killer to justice. The opera masterfully unfolds Don Giovanni’s scandalous escapades across Europe, aided by his cunning servant Leporello.
