A 2014 ROH production of this opera projects chalk-drawn handwriting onto the front facade of its black and white set. Eberhard Wächter (“VESH-turr”) plays the title character of this opera in a 1959 recording conducted by Carlo Maria Giulini. Felice Ponziani’s role in this opera’s Prague premiere inspired the declaration that he is “all too familiar” with a performance at a banquet that quotes one of the composer’s previous operas. This opera’s title character is told “a cenar teco” (“ah chay-NAR TAY-ko”) by a character whose three knocks are accompanied by loud D minor chords from the overture. In this opera, Leporello sings about 1003 Spanish women to Donna Elvira, detailing his master’s seduction in its “Catalogue” aria. For 10 points, a statue of the Commendatore drags the title character of what Mozart opera to hell? ■END■
