Don Pasquale
Don Pasqualeis a comedy opera in three acts composed by Gaetano Donizetti with an Italian libretto by Giovanni Ruffini.
In the tradition of opera buffa, the opera makes reference to the stock characters of the commedia dell'arte. Pasquale is recognizable as the blustery Pantalone, Ernesto as the lovesick Pierrot, Malatesta as the scheming Scapino, and Norina as a wily Columbina. The false Notary echoes a long line of false officials as operatic devices. (Wikepeida)
