Don Juan Triumphant

Common card · No. 474201

Don Juan Triumphant is a fictional opera described in Gaston Leroux's 1909 novel The Phantom of the Opera. In the novel, it is conceived as the magnum opus of the titular character, and is a work in progress for most of the story, only being completed shortly before the ending. The fictional piece draws major inspiration from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Don Giovanni, yet the Phantom's opera is depicted as far more bleak and dark. In the 1986 musical The Phantom of the Opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber, the concept is expanded as an opera within a musical and the performance of it plays a major role in Act II of the storyline.
