Yeah seriously, there's like mad buzz out there for Don Giovanni. I've never gone to an opera but Mozart wouldn't be a bad one to start with

From your friendly neighborhood Wikipedia
Of the many operas based on the legend of Don Juan, Don Giovanni is thought to be beyond comparison [...]

The Danish philosopher [...] Kierkegaard wrote a long essay in his book Enten/Eller (Either/Or) in which he argues that Mozart's Don Giovanni is the most perfect opera ever produced.
