Chi dice Don Giovanni, dice Mozart. Eppure il mito del libertino sacrilego e donnaiolo impenitente è ben più antico. Dal XVII secolo la tradizione lo ha visto protagonista della parabola devozionale, della favola, del teatro di piazza, di espressioni letterarie e musicali sempre più numerose. Dopo quasi due secoli di declinazioni, il mito arriva tra le mani di Mozart e Da Ponte e il risultato è Il Dissoluto punito ossia Il Don Giovanni, nuovo capolavoro che debutta a Praga il 29 ottobre 1787. La storia è ben nota al pubblico ma è grazie a Mozart che il ‘dissoluto’ avrà la sua consacrazione definitiva. Il Don Giovanni mozartiano possiede infatti una carica espressiva senza eguali. Dall’ouverture, alle arie solistiche, dagli ensemble vocali ai grandiosi finali dei due atti dell’opera, commedia e tragedia, mondo terreno e mondo celeste si susseguono e si compenetrano mirabilmente e senza battute d’arresto. Don Giovanni assume addirittura una statura eroica e il fascino che esercita sull’ascoltatore risulta di gran lunga superiore alle sue malefatte. Non a caso la musica è dalla sua parte, la dialettica pure, mentre i personaggi che sono a lui legati rimangono abbagliati dalla sua energia solare, brillando di luce riflessa. E allora a poco vale quella giusta fine già anticipata dal titolo: il ‘dissoluto’ brucerà sì tra le fiamme dell’inferno, ma come l’araba fenice rinascerà dalle proprie ceneri a ogni ascolto, perché i miti - Mozart docet - non muoiono mai.

Short biography of the composer
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ( 27 January 1756 – 5 December 1791), baptised as Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart, was a prolific and influential composer of the Classical era. Born in Salzburg, Mozart showed prodigious ability from his earliest childhood. Already competent on keyboard and violin, he composed from the age of five and performed before European royalty. At 17, Mozart was engaged as a musician at the Salzburg court, but grew restless and traveled in search of a better position. While visiting Vienna in 1781, he was dismissed from his Salzburg position. He chose to stay in the capital, where he achieved fame but little financial security. During his final years in Vienna, he composed many of his best-known symphonies, concertos, and operas, and portions of the Requiem, which was largely unfinished at the time of his death. The circumstances of his early death have been much mythologized. He was survived by his wife Constanze and two sons. He composed more than 600 works, many acknowledged as pinnacles of symphonic, concertante, chamber, operatic, and choral music. He is among the most enduringly popular of classical composers, and his influence is profound on subsequent Western art music. Ludwig van Beethoven composed his own early works in the shadow of Mozart, and Joseph Haydn wrote that "posterity will not see such a talent again in 100 years".
