Don Pasquale

About

Immerse yourself in the rococo grandeur of 19th-century Rome in this fizzy comedy of errors, returning to the Lyric Opera of Chicago stage for the first time in more than a decade with a vivid, period production directed by Mariame Clément. Donizetti's lively score animates the story of the aging bachelor Don Pasquale, whose disowned nephew enlists his wry fiancée and the Don's long-suffering doctor to orchestrate a complex series of dupes and double-crosses in a bid to reclaim his uncle's inheritance — all in the name of true love.
