buffa or “comic opera” written by Gaetano Donizetti in three acts that take
place in a single day. The events follow young Ernesto who is in love
with penniless Norina and who refuses to marry a more suitable woman chosen for
him by his rich uncle Don Pasquale. Pasquale’s physician schemes to gain
approval for Ernesto and Norina by tricking Pasquale into a union with the
physician’s sister that is riddled with trouble and misery. Pasquale is so
relieved to discover his relationship is a sham, that he consents to the
marriage of his nephew and Norina. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
