About the Opera: 

The wealthy old bachelor, Don Pasquale, has decided to take a wife so that he may produce an heir, cutting his insubordinate nephew, Ernesto, out of his inheritance. Ernesto is devastated to think of a life without Norina, a beautiful, widow in the village. Enter Dr. Malatesta – whose name translates to mean “headache.”  That is exactly what he will be for Pasquale, as he helps the couple come up with a plan to marry with Ernesto’s inheritance!  

If you like The Barber of Seville, you’ll enjoy Don Pasquale.

The Piedmont Opera advises that content is similar to a PG motion picture rating approp

riate for students in Middle School. The opera is sung in Italian. The full synopsis can be viewed here to help you make the best decision for your Crosby Scholar.

$250 Cultural Awareness Scholarship Opportunity for Junior and Senior Crosby Scholars: 

A drawing will be held for a $250 scholarship awarded to up to FOUR junior or senior Crosby Scholars who attend the performance.
