Donizetti: Don Pasquale(2015)

Don Pasquale is a comic opera by Donizetti that follows a timeless scheme: a young couple in love plots to stop a vain elderly man from marrying the woman himself. Beyond its familiar premise, the work stands out for its genuine emotional depth. Donizetti's graceful, effervescent score elevates the comedy with sophistication, balancing wit and insight. The libretto captures both the humor and humanity of the characters' predicament. This recording was captured live at the Opéra de Vichy on February 28th, 2015, preserving a spirited performance of one of opera's most enduring comedies.
