Nationwide Tour, November–February 2023 (see tour dates and venues below)
Irish National Opera presents Don Pasquale by Gaetano Donizetti

Donizetti’s effervescent comic masterpiece is a witty, high-spirited, intergenerational tug of war about love and money — young love and old money, whipped up by lots of deceit.

Don Pasquale, a grumpy old bachelor. Ernesto, his good-looking young heir. And Norina, an attractive young widow. This unorthodox love triangle yields a hilarious and touching masterpiece that takes a riotously entertaining slant on a threat of disinheritance, a mock marriage, and a spendthrift wife who believes husbands should be seen and not heard. Donizetti’s most sparkling operatic comedy.

Sung in Italian with English surtitles.

Running time: 2 hours and 20 minutes with 1 interval.
