Vancouver Opera continues its 2023-24 season with a dazzling production of Gaetano Donizetti’s classic comic opera Don Pasquale at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre on February 10 and 15 at 7:30 pm, and February 18 at 2 pm.

Full of hijinx and hilarity, Don Pasquale is the story of an aging bachelor’s scheme to marry and disinherit his rebellious nephew Ernesto of his accumulated wealth. Not to be outdone, Pasquale’s plan is countered by a bait-and-switch caper hatched by Dr. Malatesta and Ernesto’s love, Norina, who goes undercover as Pasquale’s new and decidedly not-as-advertised bride.

Helmed by renowned artistic innovators Barbe & Doucet, Donizetti’s giddy masterpiece of intergenerational jealousy and reconciliation, young love, and madcap machinations bursts with vivid colour and endlessly engaging melodies.

The all-star cast sees the role of Pasquale performed by Gregory Dahl, who returns to Vancouver Opera following last season’s The Flying Dutchman.

Tickets and more details are available at Vancouver Opera.
