In this article, I explore the parallels between Guerra’s “Como abeja al panal” and “Là ci darem la mano” from Mozart’s Don Giovani. I argue that Guerra’s arrangement of the text and the supporting musical devices both on and beneath the surface, mirror Da Ponte’s and Mozart’s for Don Giovanni and Zerlina’s duettino. Although the voice in “Como abeja al panal” is honorable and Don Giovanni’s is decidedly not, the dramatic elements in both dialogues are supported by echoing musical structures. I conclude that, although Guerra’s protagonist is the antithesis of Da Ponte’s, the use of a structural strategy similar to Mozart’s in “Como abeja al panal,” allows Guerra to deliver a complex multilayered message of persuasion, inequality, honesty, chivalry and romantic love.
