Mozart may have viewed this as simply a comic opera, but the drama plays a plentiful role in here as well, and the characters? Some of the best ever written for an opera - Don Giovanni himself is the larger-than-life role of a lifetime. The music here doesn't leap off the pages in the way other Mozart operas do, choosing instead to reinforce the text and characters. It's a complete package in the way few other operas are.
