Though Don Giovanni is nearly by default labeled a ' dramma giocoso ', and Mozart designated it an ' Opera buffa ', its actual topic is, though Mozart refuses to take it severely, the terminal case study of the career of a wicked psychopath who lets nothing get in the way of him and his pleasure.

Keep Hustlin, Ricky. I will hold listening.
