San Francisco Opera

DON PASQUALE

Sparkling with virtuosic singing and playful humor, this boisterous comedy pits the miserly Don Pasquale against his nephew Ernesto and Ernesto’s sweetheart, the crafty young Norina. Laurent Pelly’s topsy-turvy, rotating set and inventive 20th-century costumes perfectly capture the farcical fun.

Music by Gaetano Donizetti | Libretto by Giovanni Ruffini and Gaetano Donizetti

Sung in Italian with English supertitles
