Gaetano Donizetti's comic opera Giovanni Ruffini's libretto World premiere on January 3, 1843 Paris Théâtre-Italien Premiere at the Estonian National Opera on September 25, 2020

Don Pasquale, a wealthy old bachelor, is outraged when he hears his nephew Ernesto intends to marry the impoverished widow Norina. He determines to marry himself and disinherit Ernesto. Ernesto and Norina despair, but their friend Doctor Malatesta comes to aid in order to teach Pasquale a lesson. They plot an intricate plan: Malatesta persuades Norina to disguise herself as his sister, then presents her to Don Pasquale as a humble and obedient bride to be. Pasquale is delighted! They are immediately married by a fake notary, after which she turns into a she-devil making Don Pasquale bitterly regret his decision … How it all ends is a mystery even to the characters themselves!

Kui unistad abiellumise õnnest ja ärkad abielupõrgus…

Rikas vanapoiss Don Pasquale vihastab, kui kuuleb, et tema vennapoeg Ernesto kavatseb abielluda vaesunud lese Norinaga. Vanamees otsustab hoopis ise abielluda, pere luua ja Ernesto pärandusest ilma jätta. Ernesto ja Norina on meelt heitmas, kuid appi tõttab nende sõber Doktor Malatesta, et ninakale Pasqualele õppetund anda. Plaan on järgmine: Norina maskeerib end ja Malatesta esitleb teda Don Pasqualele kui oma õde – alandlikku, kuulekat ja vägagi sobivat pruuti. Pasquale on vaimustuses! Abielu sõlmitakse silmapilkselt valenotari valvsa pilgu all. Peagi tuleb Don Pasqualel oma tormakat otsust kibedalt kahetseda – vaevalt on abielu sõlmitud, kui taltsast neiust saab saatan naise kehas … Kuidas see kõik lõppeb, ei tea isegi ooperi peategelased!

Nägemispuudega külastajal on võimalus ooperile laenutada punktkirjas tiitri- ja kavaraamat. Raamatud on saadaval laenutuseks enne etendust suveniiriletist.
