The 69th of Gaetano Donizetti's 71 operas, Don Pasquale is a lively and enduring masterpiece of 19th-century opera. Bass baritone Rod Nelman stars as Don Pasquale, a lascivious older bachelor who unwittingly stumbles into a love triangle with his nephew Ernesto (tenor Taylor Stayton) and the sprightly Norina (soprano Zulimar López-Hernández), Ernesto's former fiancée whom he spurns at Don Pasquale's command. A tale of disguises and trickery, this dramma buffo's comedic tone is inspired by improvised Italian commedia dell'arte theater. Donizetti's playful, buoyant libretti is sung in Italian, with English and hieroglyphic supertitles projected above the stage.

For 39 seasons, the Des Moines Metro Opera has fostered a national reputation with its progressive performances starring American-trained artists. Simpson College's Blank Performing Arts Center, which recently underwent a 17,000-square-foot expansion, treats attendees to a professional and intimate venue that ensures no note goes unheard or and no tonsil goes unseen.
