Commander, also known as the Stone Guest, is an animate tombstone figure, which appears in every classic-based version of the story about Don Juan Tenorio (Don Giovanni) in order to summon a rogue to conversion; when he fails to do so, he drags the rogue to hell. The spectacular character of the final scene turned out to serve as an inspiration for numerous opera makers, from Mozart to Rimsky-Korsakov (Mozart and Salieri). This theme, which has not been the subject of research before, is definitely worth exploring.}, doi = {10.4467/23537094KMMUJ.18.037.9738}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/kmmuj/artykul/komandor-w-operze-konteksty} }
