How do you find this beautiful concert?

It is consistent with your merit.

Such delicious food!

Such a barbarous appetite!

Such gigantic mouthfuls!

I think I'm going to faint.

As he looks upon my mouthfuls,

he thinks he is going to faint.

Next course!

Yes, master.

Long live the "Litiganti"!

Pour the wine.

Excellent red wine!

This piece of pheasant

I shall slowly swallow.

He is eating, that ruffian.

I'll pretend not to see.

I know this one all too well.

Leporello!

Master...

Speak clearly, you rogue!

A flu is making it difficult

for me to speak.

While I eat, whistle a little.

I don't know how!

What?

Excuse me.

So excellent is your cook,

I wanted a taste too.

The final proof

of my love,

I wanted to make it with you.

I shall no longer remember

your betrayals.

I am moved by pity.

What is it?

My sorrowful soul

begs you no mercy.

I am amazed! What do you want?

Get up,

because I won't remain standing.

Do not mock my anguish!

She almost makes me cry.

I mock you?

But why?

What do you want, my dear?

That you change your life.

Fine words!

Faithless heart!

Let me eat.

And if you wish,

you may dine with me.

Stay there, ingrate,

wallowing in your vile crimes.

You horrible example of iniquity!

Here's to women,

here's to good wine,

the strength and glory of humanity!

If he's not moved

by her grief,

he has a heart of stone

or no heart at all.

What was that cry?

Go and see what happened.

What a devilish cry!

Leporello, what is it?

Sir, for Heaven's sake...

Don't go out there.

The man of stone... the white man...

Master, I am scared,

I am going to faint.

If you could see his shape,

hear his...

I don't understand at all.

You have gone out of your mind.

- Listen!

- Someone's knocking.

- Open the door.

- I'm trembling.

Open the door!

Open it!

Lunatic! To solve this puzzle,

I'll go and open it myself.

I'll never see that man again,

I'll quietly hide.

Don Giovanni!

I'm here to dine with you.

You did invite me

and I have come.

I would never have believed it,

but I'll do what I can.

Leporello, bring another setting

to the table immediately!

Master,

we're all dead!

Go, I tell you.

Stand still.

What good

is mortal food

for those nourished

on celestial food?

Other concerns

more grave than these,

other cravings,

have brought me here.

Speak then.

What do you ask?

What do you want?

I will speak,

listen...

I haven't much time.

Speak then,

I am listening.

It's like having a fever,

my limbs won't stop shaking.

You invited me to dinner,

now you know your duty.

Answer me.

Will you come

to dinner with me?

For God's sake, no!

I'm sorry but he has no time.

Never shall I be

accused of cowardice.

Make up your mind!

I have made it up.

Will you come?

Say no!

My heart does not tremble.

I am not afraid,

I will come!

Give me your hand

as a pledge.

Here it is.

- Oh God!

- What is wrong?

What is this deathly chill?

Repent, change your ways,

this is your final hour!

I will not repent.

Go away from me!

Repent, scoundrel!

No, old fool!

- Repent!

- No!

Your time is up!

With strange fear,

I feel the spirits assail me.

From where do these vortices emerge

full of fire and horror?

No hell is too appalling for you.

Now there is worse to come!

Who is lascerating my soul?

Who is torturing my body?

Damnation is in his gestures!

What torment, what agony!

I'm filled with terror.

Who is lascerating my soul?

Who is torturing my body?

What madness!

What terror!

What hell!

Where is the miscreant,

where is the criminal?

Now shall our retribution be unleashed.

Only seeing him bound in chains

will calm my torment.

Do not hope ever to find him again.

No need to search, he's far away now.

- What has happened?

- There came a statue.

Quick, tell us!

How can I say it?

Quick, tell us, hurry!

Through smoke and flame...

listen here.

The man of marble... Don't move!

Just there, he gave the sign.

And just there

the devil dragged him down.

What story is this?

Every word of it is true.

That must have been

the spectre that I met.

Now that all of us,

my dearest,

have been avenged

by Heaven,

grant me, I beg,

my reward.

Do not leave me still in anguish.

Give me but a year, my dear,

for my heart to heal.

True love must yield

to a beloved's plea.

I will enter a convent,

there to end my life.

We, Masetto, will go home

and have our dinner together.

And I'll go to the inn

and find myself a better master.

Let the wretch remain below

with Proserpine and Pluto.

And we, good people,

will gaily sing

the ancient moral:

This is fate of miscreants.

Evildoers always come

to an equally evil end.

We wish to thank the people of Vicenza

where Palladio worked as an architect.
