This 2006 Zurich Opera production of Donizetti's popular Don Pasquale captures not only the opera's high-spirited comedy but also its underlying cruelty. Featuring veteran bass-baritone Ruggerio Raimondi in the title role and a fine supporting cast, this program exhibits what no other version of the opera has--tenor Juan Diego Flórez as the Don's nephew, the lovelorn Ernesto. His brilliant portrayal coupled with a resplendent production makes this a must-see for any admirer of great opera.
