Io, Don Giovanni (2009)

The film tells the story of the creation of the opera Don Juan (Don Giovanni). The central character is not the genius Mozart, but the often neglected songwriter Dapont. Dapont's life is as colorful as the characters in the opera. Of Jewish descent, he was forced to convert to Christianity and trained as a priest, but the bohemian he sympathized with the woman and gave birth to a child. Ignoring the condemnation, Dapenter opened another brothel and was expelled from Venice. After arriving in Vienna, Dapenter soon met the king, who, as an opera lover, brought him together with Mozart and became a partner. Daponte was moved by his contemporaries Casanova and persuaded Mozart to create a new opera, and this is Don Juan. The film is the latest work released by Spanish master director Carlos Sora at the age of 78. It is set against the background of the flashy opera field of Italy in the 18th world and reflects the process of artistic creation from a quite unique aspect. The protagonist of the film is Lorenzo da Ponte, an Italian lyric poet and opera lyricist in the 18th century. He has worked with Mozart in the operas Magic Flute and the Marriage of Figaro.
