Don Pasquale. G. Donizetti ooper

Performed in Italian, subtitles in Estonian and EnglishSince its premiere, "Don Pasquale" has delighted audiences worldwide. At the time when opera buffa was on the wane, with its stock characters drawing largely on Pantalone, Harlequin, Pierrot, etc Donizetti created a thoroughly comic situational comedy with psychologically differentiated, highly contradictory individuals packed with emotional vulnerability. Giorgio Bongiovanni's exhilarating production shows how contemporary the characters still are and how immediate and touching the story remains.
