This Spring, English Touring Opera present three of the wittiest works of the repertoire, taken from the 18^th, 19^th, and 20^th Centuries. These very different operas – all of them describing the events of one day - find comedy in stifling Sevillian manor houses, in enchanted woods, and in dusty bachelors' quarters.

Don Pasquale – Donizetti

This is a comedy with zest, cream, and an Italian accent – think zabaglione! - in a new production directed by William Oldroyd, with Dominic Wheeler conducting.

Keel Watson plays Don Pasquale, a stubborn, competitive, old bachelor – and here a tyrant conductor – who wants to procure a young wife. He seems set to steal from his nephew a beautiful, and apparently submissive bride – but his clumsy wooing turns to painful woe when she reveals her own mind.
