Many consider this great work the finest opera ever written. The
music is undeniably sublime; the libretto dark but humorous. How
much richer the experience is in this very entertaining and stirring
new English translation.

Act I, #4 Leporello: "Madamina, ..."

My dear lady, I have something to show you,
for I‘m certain that you must have wondered.
It’s a list of the women he’s plundered!
I’m afraid it confirms your worst fears.
You will see you’ve been wasting your tears!
Italians, six hundred and eleven;
then in France there were five hundred seven;
in the Rhineland just over two hundred,
and…here in Spain, he’s now up to one thousand and two!
A thousand two--including you!
