Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Emperor Joseph II reacted negatively to Mozart's "Don Giovanni" primarily due to its controversial themes and the portrayal of nobility, which he found inappropriate. The opera's blending of comedy and tragedy, along with its moral ambiguity regarding seduction and punishment, clashed with Joseph's ideals of order and reform. Additionally, the emperor's desire for operas that adhered to more traditional and moral storytelling made him critical of the work's unconventional narrative.
