Don Pasquale Donizetti

Public

Approved

Oliver Láng, dramaturge at the Vienna State Opera, introduces the work and its history.

It is one of the most well-known comedy subjects in the world: here the elderly bachelor, concerned about preserving his assets, who wants to slip into the role of the lover again. There the young woman who cleverly leads him by the nose. In Don Pasquale , Donizetti skillfully opened up this framework for action: the opera is burlesque, but also timelessly valid as a confrontation between patriarchal desires and youthful self-determination. Director Irina Brook brings the comedy into the present, leading it rapidly into an exaggerated, candy-colored finale in which laughter is intended - but never just laughed at.
