Ultime teaser d'opéra pour la saison 21 | 22 et donc, ultime opéra avant l'édition 22 | 23 ! L'Opéra de Dijon a choisi de clore sa programmation d'œuvres opé...

Why get married? By love ? Very well. By interest ? Already less. To punish a nephew by marrying the first comer, in order to deprive him of his hopes of inheritance? This is where it gets a little disgusting. Don Pasquale therefore deserves to be punished. And to make us laugh at his expense...

Once upon a time there was a form of society, called patriarchal, where the old dominated the young and where the women were entirely submissive to the men… Let's not go any further, it's not a fairy tale, this society does indeed exist. The proof: we recognize its reflections very well. One of the great pleasures of classical comedy in general, and of commedia dell'arte in particular, consists in seeing this "order" overthrown, and its victims avenged: whatever happens, young people who love each other must have the last word, and the age that founds the power of the elders is precisely what must cause their downfall. Don Pasqualeis one of the last representatives of a centuries-old tradition, and almost the swan song of opera buffa. The uncle, as rich as he is potbellied, is Pantalon; Ernesto, reluctant nephew in love with the young premiere, is Pierrot. And who is his beloved Columbine? Here is the surprise: the comic spring that animates Norina would rather make one think, if one dares to say, of a ... taming Shrew. The plot is an assumed fantasy. With the complicity of the cunning Malatesta, to save her love, the "shy" Norina will pretend to marry Don Pasquale and transform herself once married into an indomitable domestic fury, tyrannical, spendthrift, greedy for diamonds - and lovers. The old rich man will have to admit defeat and agree to whatever we want... A master of lyrical humour, Donizetti has put all his verve, his rhythmic inventiveness, his acute sense of farce into a frenzied score whose success does not has not denied itself since its creation.
