José Saramago wrote the play Don Giovanni ou O dissoluto absolvido based on a question that  starts the whole narrative moving. Taking Mozart’s opera Il dissoluto punito, ossia il Don Giovanni as his starting point, the Portuguese Nobel Laureate asked: “What if Don Giovanni hadn’t gone to Hell?” He then imagined that Seville’s great seducer, immortalised by Mozart and Lorenzo Da Ponte, would not have been condemned for his actions, questioning the power of moral judgment. In this stage version, Mozart’s music and Saramago’s play converge in an original staging by Jean Paul Bucchieri with musical direction by Nuno Coelho.
