''Don Giovanni'', in contrast to Mozart's other operatic achievements, is cast in two long acts -- rather than three or four acts, which was the norm. It's to the credit of DaPonte's tight dramatic pacing and Mozart's excellent through-composed music that the longer acts only intensify the drama.

Compared to ''[[The Marriage of Figaro]]'', the first collaboration of Mozart and DaPonte, there is less reliance on [[recitative]], and more through-composition of scenes, lending the opera a more immediate and accessible quality.
