DONIZETTI

Don Pasquale

 

Juan Diego Florez

Chorus & Orchestra of the Opernhaus Zurich / Nello Santi

 

Recorded Zurich Operhaus 2006

 

Juan Diego Florez in another of his great stage roles.

Following DVD releases of Il barbiere di Siviglia from Madrid and La Fille du regiment from Genoa, Decca continues the DVD series presenting Florez in his great stage roles with this performance of Donizetti's irresistible comedy from Zurich Opera House.

Florez has recently sung the role of Ernesto in new productions at both London's Royal Opera House, Covent Garden and the Metropolitan Opera, New York.

The title role of the irascible Don Pasquale is sung by the great Italian bass, Ruggero Raimondi (who famously played Mozart's Don Giovanni in Joseph Losey's classic 1978 film).

A largely traditional but creative, fun production of a classic.

 

Extras include trailer from Il barbiere di Siviglia and the trailer of 'Oh Mes Amis' from La Fille du Regiment.
