The Story

His debauchery seems to have no end. However, it is the last day of Don Giovanni's life, even though he doesn't know it yet.

When he hears a voice from beyond the grave, warning of impending punishment, Don Giovanni has no fear. Half-mocking, half-earnest, he invites the statue of the man he’s just killed to dinner. Will he come? Will there be any salvation or redemption for the degenerate Cassanova? Watch the show and find out!
