Don Pasquale @ Ridgefield Playhouse
August 1, 2020 @ 2:00 pm
Don Pasquale @ Ridgefield Playhouse: The Ridgefield Playhouse presents The Metropolitan Opera in HD under safety guidelines outlined by the state of Connecticut Department of Health including six-foot physical distancing, mask wearing and concessions ordered on your smart phones.
Donizetti’s timeless comedy shines in Otto Schenk’s enchanting production, conducted by James Levine and featuring a remarkable cast. The incomparable Anna Netrebko is Norina, the young widow beloved by Ernesto (a suave Matthew Polenzani), who is about to be disinherited by his miserly uncle, Don Pasquale (John Del Carlo). It takes the clever scheming of Dr. Malatesta (Mariusz Kwiecien) to set things right and to teach the old curmudgeon a lesson—fits of temper, mistaken identities, and all kinds of comic confusion included.
