Scene Six: the ballroom of the palace.
In the thick of the revelry, the merriment, and the drink, the wicked Don Giovanni induces Zerlina to accompany him to one of the rooms of the palace. Her scream is heard, and Masetto makes to go after her. At once the servant Leporello rushes onto the stage, followed by the Don with his sword drawn, giving the guests to believe that it was the servant who tried to assault the poor girl.
Act Two
Scene One: before Donna Elvira's house.
Don Giovanni is about to serenade a new sweetheart — Donna Elvira's maid. He and his servant exchange cloaks and hats; then he stands behind the servant in the darkness and breaks into song, addressing Donna Elvira so that she may leave the way clear for him to turn his attentions to the maid. The stratagem succeeds: Donna Elvira comes out and goes down to where Leporello stands — believing him to be Don Giovanni — and begins to make love to him. Thereupon the Don, disguised in his servant's clothes, springs from his hiding place and threatens the pair, and they take to their heels.
He takes up the mandolin and sings a second serenade, asking the girl to appear at the window. But Masetto and some of his friends, armed peasants, break in upon his idyll — they have come to make an end of the accursed Don. He succeeds in getting them away from him with ease, since he is wearing Leporello's clothes, and
dispatches them in various directions to search for his "master," keeping Masetto at his side. By a clever ruse he takes away his pistol and his musket, then fells him to the ground with a heavy blow, showers blows upon him, and goes his way. But Zerlina is not long in arriving; she finds him
