Don Pasquale

Autumn 2015 marks the start of a new venture for The Drayton Arms Theatre, an operatic season, presented by our Associate Director for Music and his vibrant young opera company Euphonia.

These co-productions kick-off with Donizetti’s effervescent comedy, Don Pasquale, sung in Italian, with English surtitles.

After disinheriting his nephew Ernesto (Joseph Doody), wealthy old Don Pasquale (Graham Stone) seeks a wife to produce an heir for his estate. Dr. Malatesta (Christopher Jacklin) sympathizes with Ernesto and devises a crackpot plan to help him regain his inheritance and his true love, Norina (Lauren Libaw).

Jonathan Musgrave, piano.
