The adaptation expands on details, adding humor to Leporello's asides. Scandal and indiscretion are reexamined in the context of evolving social norms. Yet, the timeless human themes of desire, justice, and hypocrisy present in Mozart's masterpiece continue to resonate. This version of Don Giovanni speaks to who we are now and who we have always been.
