Don Pasquale was one of Gaetano Donizetti's last operas. The traditional masked characters - the old man who plans to marry a young beauty; the lively young girl determined to win happiness; the not-so-sharp but hopelessly-in-love young man; the inventive doctor who helps the young lovers; the notary - they all come to life in an innovative way in this talented interpretation of Gaetano Donizetti's work by Yuri Alexandrov.
