The opera "Don Pasquale" was first staged in Paris in 1843. At the premiere, the audience was simply amazed by the number of beautiful melodies. This work of Gaetano Donizetti is one of the purest diamonds of Italian opera.
The heroes of the opera "Don Pasquale" - an old lonely rich man Don Pasquale, his nephew Ernesto, witty doctor Malatesta, a young beautiful widow Norina - find themselves in a piquant situation, the acuteness of which can only be relieved by a joke. They are the ones who cut the Gordian knot, and each of the characters sighs with relief, holding no grudge against anyone. And the audience gets a huge charge of positive energy.
