Donizetti’s colourful confection is reimagined with plenty of style in this charming 2013 production by Roger Hodgman. 

With fast-paced arias to match the production’s fast-paced action, this is comedic opera at its bright and bubbly best.



The plot centres on Don Pasquale, an elderly miser, who takes it into his head to disinherit his uppity nephew Ernesto (in love with Norina) by marrying and producing an heir. He asks his doctor to find him a suitable match. A marriage contract is hastily drawn up by the cunning Dr Malatesta between Don Pasquale and Malatesta’s ‘sister’ (the disguised Norina). With the ink barely dry, the shy and demure bride begins to create so much havoc that the groom is only too happy to pay to get rid of her.



This production stars several of our best (and funniest) regular singers: Conal Coad, Rachelle Durkin, Ji-Min Park and Samuel Dundas. They’re conducted by Guillaume Tourniaire in this performance filmed live at the Sydney Opera House.
