An Amazon opera video shopper trying blindly (or deafly) to select one of several tempting DVDs of Donizetti's "Don Pasquale" couldn't go very wrong with this Teatro alla Scala production, despite some favorable critiques of other versions available. I don't know the others but am very happy with this one. The singing and Riccardo Muti's artistic control are impeccable, the staging is without fuss, the acting intelligent, the ensemble work merry and the sound (live perfomance at La Scala) is satifying. ...

For me, the stars of this production are Riccardo Muti and his orchestra. There are many scenes in "Don Pasquale" (e.g., the fake marriage) where what is going on in the orchestra is more exciting than what the performers are doing onstage. In other words, Donizetti wrote a magnificent score, beginning with an overture that can easily stand alone as an orchestral piece. Muti conducts with great energy and with careful attention to detail, the latter allowing the solo instruments to shine. He also varies ... Read More

I am not a fan of this opera. The only music that floats my boat is the love duet in the last act. I find these stories of dirty old men chasing after young innocent girls interspersed with "Italian Rap" type songs dated and musically over the hill. So why did I buy this? Three reasons: Riccardo Muti,, Ferruccio Furlanette and especially Nuccia Focile. They almost made me like DON PASQUALE plus the Scala production is on the wonderful side. Nuccia Focile as Norina is a joy to watch and her singing is ... Read More

A few years ago I purchased a DVD of "Don Pasquale" produced by Teatro Lirico-Cagliari starring Eva Mei and Alessandro Corbelli. The singing was great, as expected, but I found the direction way too over-the-top. Everyone was mugging uncontrollably and it really got in the way of my enjoying the performance. Too bad, as the production was one of the most gorgeous and clever I'd ever seen. If only, I thought, the same production had been directed in a more subdued, realistic fashion.
Well, ... Read More

I'm a fan of Riccardo Muti and this opera production shows him at his best, including smiles of satisfaction, pleasure and amusement throughout. How often do you see that? The overture is simply wonderful and sets this production apart immediately from the other recent Don Pasquale DVD with Alessandro Corbelli. The same notes, but Muti's is better. (I'm not a musician but I know what I like.)
Speaking of that other production, if you watch both, you will notice immediately that you are seeing ... Read More
