- Abstract
From an artistic point of view, the adaptation of an opera to the cinema has traditionally been considered a complex and controversial process. Don Giovanni, by W. A. Mozart is one of the operas that has generated more audiovisual versions during the 20th and 21st centuries, although very few films have finally been taken to the cinema screen. This paper is focused on comparing the audiovisual versions Don Giovanni, by Joseph Losey (1979), and Juan by Kasper Holten (2010). Through a quantitative and qualitative methodology based on content analysis, this research reflects on the degree of intervention exercised by the language and audiovisual format used in the process of reinterpretation of the pre-existing operatic text.
