Passarino, dressed as Don Juan and hiding his face, is the one who made her acquaintance.
In the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, only a small portion of the opera is seen onstage, in which Don Juan (played by leading tenor Ubaldo Piangi) and his servant Passarino make plans for Don Juan's seduction of the maiden Aminta (Christine). Viscount Raoul de Chagny, Christine's fiancé, devises a plan to capture the Phantom by using her as bait to lure him to the performance. The work is forced on the opera company by the Phantom, who expects Christine Daaé, the object of his affection, to perform in it. Employed as opera within an opera, it is a thinly veiled adaptation of Mozart's Don Giovanni which premiered in Prague in 1787, only told from Don Juan's point of view.
Don Juan Triumphant is the name of a fictional opera written by the title character in the novel The Phantom of the Opera by French novelist Gaston Leroux (on which the musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber is based).
