The opera Don Pasquale belongs to Donizetti's late works, he wrote it as a mature author (and he wrote it in just 11 days!). He is a typical representative of the opera buffy based on elements of commedia dell'arte. Artistically and farcishly exacerbated situations lead to effective scenes, full of humor and wit, vocal parts grow out of singing virtuosity and other musical construction is primarily a means to achieve a comic effect. The basic motive of Donizetti's opera is trouble, which affects an aged old bachelor if he wants to marry a young girl. The opera features several brilliant arias and the famous duo for baritone and bass.
