Bursting with pure fun. This production of Donizetti’s bubbly farce will have you rolling in the aisles! Take a trip with us back to 19th-century Rome for this uproarious, screwball comedy—perfect for seasoned operagoers and newcomers alike. 
Don Pasquale, a wealthy old bachelor, is determined to disinherit his rebellious nephew Ernesto—who refuses to marry for money, insisting on marrying the poor widow Norina for love. With the help of the mastermind Dr. Malatesta the lovers hatch an outrageous plan to teach the old Don a lesson once and for all. This unorthodox love triangle yields a hilarious and touching masterpiece that takes a riotously entertaining slant on a threat of disinheritance, a mock marriage, and a spendthrift wife who believes husbands should be seen and not heard.

Don Pasquale by Donizetti, From (2023/2023), Directed by Jon Truitt,, Conductor Stephen Hargreaves, Union Avenue Christian Church, Saint Louis, United States
