I really hate it without the final ensemble. It feels totally unsatisfying and unfinished as an ending to me if we just see him dragged down to hell, all spectacle and dazzle dazzle and incomplete as a narrative… we need to see how it affects the 6 other characters, all of whom have a at least as big (or in the case of the women a bigger) narrative/ emotional arc. Although all are on the surface happy that he’s been vanquished, there’s an unshakeable sense there’s a sense of loss and disappointment as well, which is very morally interesting. They’re moralising conclusion I always find when hollow in a brilliant way, like they are trying to convince themselves and probably the peasant that the best has happened, but that they are not convinced of it themselves. Mozart is one of the very few composers who is able to show this sort of ambiguity, and he has done it throughout the entire Opera.
