The National Theater of Opera and Ballet brings to the Albanian public after 64 years the Premiere Opera: “Don Pasquale” by Gaetano Donizetti.

A premiere reimagined in new directorial dimensions, special vocal preparations for soloists and expression of the promising new generation and the future of Albanian Opera.

When “Don Pasquale” was first performed in January 1843 in Paris, Gaetano Donizetti had a consolidated career in the world of Italian opera and was at the height of his artistic maturity.
He had great success with the opera “Lucia di Lammermoor”, “La Fille du Règiment” and other works, but he had not managed to get the coveted position of Real Director of the “Collegio di Musica” in Naples.

This comic opera in three acts, composed in eleven days and performed at the “Thé’tre des Italien” in Paris on January 3, 1843, from the librettist’s point of view is a work whose tight rhythm and deft theatricality make it in terms of operatic, excellent.

Typical of Don Pasquale is the effectiveness with which lyricism and melancholy are contrasted with the devilish smile or even sincere laughter created by the master.

The opera will be presented to the albanian public during four days on December 15, 16, 17, 18 at 19:00 at TKOB.
