Poor Leporello, who starts off the opera telling us how he doesn't want to be a servant anymore, and who even gets to disguise himself as his own master, ultimately comes to terms with his station in life.
I do have to wonder if Ottavio will ever get to marry Anna. I've never really believed there's a real match there.
As for Masetto and Zerlina, theirs is absolutely true love. Given the nasty things Masetto spouts at her in "Ho capito," she really must love him a whole lot to be able to brush it all off. But I think she knows he's really just a puppy - I think it's clear that when she challenges him in "Batti batti" she knows full well he could never bring himself to do that. |
