Don Giovanni Tenorio Don Giovanni, o sia Il convitato di pietra , also known as Don Giovanni Tenorio because the title character is played by a tenor and the opera appeared the same year as Mozart's version, (English: "Don Giovanni, or The Stone Guest") is the most famous opera by the Italian composer Giuseppe Gazzaniga. It belongs to the genre of dramma giocoso and is in one act. "Don Giovanni Tenorio" was first performed at the Teatro San Moisè, Venice, on February 5, 1787. The libretto, by Giovanni Bertati, is based on the legend of Don Juan as told by Tirso de Molina in his play "The Trickster of Seville and the Stone Guest" (c. 1630), leading to comparisons with Mozart's "Don Giovanni", which had its premiere later in 1787. Mozart's librettist, Lorenzo Da Ponte, certainly knew the earlier opera. Gazzaniga's work is much shorter than Mozart's, however, and originally formed part of a double-bill with another piece, "Il capriccio drammatico".
