Notes
Epilogue: We omit the epilogue in these performances. The epilogue was part of the Prague premiere of Don Giovanni in 1787, but for the Vienna performances in 1788 (for which Mozart added considerably more music, including “Dalla sua pace,” “Mi tradì,” and the duet for Leporello and Zerlina) there is considerable evidence that the epilogue was omitted. Recent research shows that the assimilation of the Vienna and Prague versions occurred before the composer’s death, thus affirming the authenticity of composite versions.
Mandolin (for Giovanni's serenade) played by violinist Craig Reiss.
