There is a glint of extravagant humor in the recital of the Don's conquests by his servant Leporello, with the list stretching down the steps of his house and out into the garden; but José Van Dam's engaging Leporello is scarcely allowed to become the buffo scalawag that Mozart and Da Ponte had in mind.

Instead of staging a showdown, the husband sends his daughter to boarding school and his wife to work for the nurseryman. The professional association is fatal to the affair. Laments the nurseryman: "The roles of Duggie and myself were reversed: when Duggie came home once a week now from Brussels it was he who seemed to be the lover and I the husband. Sally...
