Do Venus and Adonis and Don Pasquale have the same number of acts?
Venus and Adonis (opera) Venus and Adonis is an opera in three acts and a prologue by the English Baroque composer John Blow, composed in about 1683. It was written for the court of King Charles II at either London or Windsor. It is considered by some to be either a semi-opera or a masque, but "The New Grove" names it as the earliest known English opera.
Don Giovanni Tenorio Don Giovanni, o sia Il convitato di pietra , also known as Don Giovanni Tenorio because the title character is played by a tenor and the opera appeared the same year as Mozart's version, (English: "Don Giovanni, or The Stone Guest") is the most famous opera by the Italian composer Giuseppe Gazzaniga. It belongs to the genre of dramma giocoso and is in one act. "Don Giovanni Tenorio" was first performed at the Teatro San Moisè, Venice, on February 5, 1787. The libretto, by Giovanni Bertati, is based on the legend of Don Juan as told by Tirso de Molina in his play "The Trickster of Seville and the Stone Guest" (c. 1630), leading to comparisons with Mozart's "Don Giovanni", which had its premiere later in 1787. Mozart's librettist, Lorenzo Da Ponte, certainly knew the earlier opera. Gazzaniga's work is much shorter than Mozart's, however, and originally formed part of a double-bill with another piece, "Il capriccio drammatico".
