Alameda, CA: November 8, 2016 – Island City Opera will present five performances of Gaetano Donizetti’s Don Pasquale, January 18-29, 2017, at the Alameda Elk’s Lodge Ballroom, 2255 Santa Clara Avenue, Alameda, CA.  Performances will be sung in Italian, with English supertitles, and, include chorus and orchestra.

Don Pasquale is one of opera’s greatest comedies, full of jabs at privilege and lecherous old men, and served with a side of romance. The childless elder, Don Pasquale, plans to marry in order to disinherit his nephew, Ernesto. But Ernesto’s friend Dr. Malatesta has a plan to deceive the Don into a fake marriage to teach the Don a real lesson and set the stage for the nephew to marry his love, Norina.  Donizetti’s music is wonderfully melodic, with a number of beautiful arias and ensembles.  Most memorable is Norina’s “So anch’io la virtu magica,” which is one of those arias that many opera lovers love without knowing where it’s from.

Island City Opera’s artists perform with San Francisco Opera, Opera San Jose, and other Bay Area companies.  Distinguished baritone, Bojan Knezevic, leads the cast in the title role. Sergio Gonzalez makes his ICO debut as Ernesto, while Eileen Meredith is his intended, Norina.  Igor Vieira is the clever Dr. Malatesta  The production is conducted by Philip Kuttner, who was an assistant conductor at San Francisco Opera, and the stage director is Erin Neff.
