Leporello in a sentence

Leporello tells Don Giovanni of his brush with danger, and Giovanni taunts him, saying that he took advantage of his disguise as Leporello by trying to seduce one of Leporello's girlfriends.

Don Giovanni and Leporello arrive soon after.

From a balcony, Leporello invites them to his master's party.

From his hiding place Giovanni sings a promise of repentance, expressing a desire to return to her and threatening to kill himself if she does not take him back, while Leporello poses as Giovanni and tries to keep from laughing.

Giovanni orders Leporello to see what has upset her; upon peering outside, the servant also cries out, and runs back into the room, stammering that the statue has appeared as promised.

Giovanni (still disguised as Leporello) convinces the posse that he also hates Giovanni, and joins the hunt.

He begs for mercy and, seeing an opportunity, runs off (Leporello aria: "Ah pietà signori miei" – "Ah, have mercy, my lords").

He shoves Leporello forward, ordering him to tell Elvira the truth, and then hurries away.

However, Don Giovanni remains cheerful and tells Leporello to organize a party and invite every girl he can find.

Just as Leporello is about to slip through the door, which he has difficulty finding, Zerlina and Masetto open it and, seeing him dressed as Giovanni, catch him before he can escape.

Leporello informs Giovanni that all the guests of the peasant wedding are in Giovanni's house and that he distracted Masetto from his jealousy, but that Zerlina, returning with Elvira, made a scene and spoiled everything.

Leporello makes several attempts to invite the statue to dinner but for fear cannot complete the task (Duet: "O, statua gentilissima" – "Oh most noble statue").

Leporello, paralyzed by fear, cannot answer it, so Giovanni opens it himself, revealing the statue of the Commendatore.

Leporello tells Elvira that Don Giovanni is not worth her feelings for him.

Leporello, watching from under the table, also cries out in fear.

Seeing an opportunity for a game, Giovanni hides and sends Leporello out in the open wearing Giovanni's cloak and hat.

The duet, " Per queste tue manine main" and the whole accompanying scene involving Zerlina and Leporello from the Viennese version is almost never included.

The other four are resolved to punish the traitor, but Leporello removes his cloak to reveal his true identity.

They find instead Leporello hiding under the table, shaken by the supernatural horror he has witnessed.

This scene was added at the same time as the preceding Zerlina / Leporello duet, but is generally retained and sung directly after "Il mio tesoro".
