Don Pasquale: Opera Australia

О событии

Four characters, four spectacular voices, and a fast‐moving plot: this new production of Donizetti’s Don Pasquale is as fresh and zingy as a lemon gelato. Enjoy!

This production is full of surprises. There are the grand hissy‐fits of Don Pasquale’s new wife – played to the max by singer and comedienne Rachelle Durkin. Then there are the little details – an over‐zealous footman, a snoozing gangster, a teddy‐bear in the luggage. It all adds up to a fast‐moving, laugh‐a-minute night in the theatre, powered by Donizetti’s zippy score.
