show category: opera

Inspired by the unmistakable Donizettian charm, the first lyric premiere of this year, gives us a captivating, spicy and colorful show. DON PASQUALE – other than you have ever seen or imagined – is boldly reinterpreted for this new production, which takes him to the contemporary Wild West. The wealthy, middle-aged bachelor eager for love – as he had been portrayed in the masterpiece of G. Donizetti – raised laughter and applause from the evening of his absolute premiere on January 3, 1843, at the Italian Theater in Paris, representing the climax of the 19th-century opera. Now he crosses the space and imaginary borders, in a story with mobsters, cowboys and ferocious gunmen – they all know Don Pasquale, a famous banker and the head of a mafia Family.

Recommended age: 7+

The show has two breaks and ends around 9:15 pm.
