Mozart also supervised the Vienna premiere of the work, which took place on 7 May [[1788 in music|1788]]. For this production, he wrote two new arias with corresponding recitatives – Don Ottavio's aria "{{lang|it|Dalla sua pace|italic=no}}" (K.&nbsp;540a, composed on 24 April for the tenor Francesco Morella), Elvira's aria "{{lang|it|In quali eccessi ... Mi tradì quell'alma ingrata|italic=no}}" (K.&nbsp;540c, composed on 30 April for the soprano [[Caterina Cavalieri]])<ref>{{cite web|url=http://opera.stanford.edu/iu/shortlib/mozaria1.html|title=OperaGlass at Opera.Stanford.Edu}}</ref> – and the duet between Leporello and Zerlina "{{lang|it|Per queste tue manine|italic=no}}" (K.&nbsp;540b, composed on 28 April). He also made some cuts in the Finale in order to make it shorter and more incisive, the most important of which is the section where Anna and Ottavio, Elvira, Zerlina and Masetto, Leporello reveal their plans for the future ("{{Lang|it|Or che tutti, o mio tesoro|italic=no}}"). In order to connect "{{Lang|it|Ah, certo è l'ombra che l'incontrò|italic=no}}" ("It must have been the ghost she met") directly to the moral of the story "{{Lang|it|Questo è il fin di chi fa mal|italic=no}}" ("This is the end which befalls to evildoers"), Mozart composed a different version of "{{Lang|it|Resti dunque quel birbon fra Proserpina e Pluton!|italic=no}}" ("So the wretch can stay down there with [[Proserpina]] and [[Pluto (mythology)|Pluto!]]"). These cuts are very seldom performed in theatres or recordings.{{clarify|date=December 2018}}<ref>[[Wolfgang Plath]] and [[Wolfgang Rehm]], ''[[Neue Mozart-Ausgabe]]'', Serie II, Werkgruppe 5, Band 17, ''Don Giovanni'' (Kassel, 1968)</ref>
