Don Pasquale Donizetti

Approvato

In Donizetti’s Don Pasquale any kindliness is excluded, as the humourism is as irresistible as it is cruel. The protagonist is a wealthy old man who decides to marry in order to disinherit his nephew Ernesto, who is in love with Norina, a beautiful but penniless widow. The decision will cost Don Pasquale dearly! His friend, Dr Malatesta, comes up with a colossal deception which will eventually see the old man, mocked and ridiculed, accepting with a wry smile the adage spoken by his future daughter-in-law: “It is a stupid man/ who admires himself in old age”.

In this opera, farcical moments are rapidly followed by others of sentimental tenderness, such as Ernesto’s moonlight serenade which sent the Parisian audience into a frenzy on its debut evening in 1843. In this historic production, the ductility and reactivity required to deal with the different situations will be guaranteed by a double quartet of top-class specialists. The maestro Alessandro De Marchi, with his usual attention to the interpretative methods of the bel canto era, will conduct the orchestra though a scintillating score. The sets and costumes by Eugenio Guglielminetti position the events against the backdrop of nineteenth-century Rome, full of life and poetry, for the masterful direction of Ugo Gregoretti.
