The two-act opera was written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, while the Italian libretto was written by Lorenzo Da Ponte.

There is a one-act opera also titled Don Giovanni, premiered earlier in the same year as Mozart's, 1787, written by Giuseppe Gazzaniga. It's almost unknown, and there's only ever been one recording made.
