A specialist of the Italian repertoire, Michele Pertusi discusses the
character of Don Pasquale, a touching and authoritarian old man, caught up in
the web of his own entourage. At once comic and dramatic, Donizetti's work is
returning to the stage of the Palais Garnier. Michele Mariotti conducts this
Neapolitan opera buffa, directed by Damiano Michieletto with Michele Pertusi in
the title role.
