This production was recorded during the Ravenna Festival in the gorgeous and patriarchal Teatro Dante Alighieri. Maestro Riccardo Muti shows one more time, what it means to perform an Italian opera with a young and professional Italian cast - an outstanding and breathtaking performance and really, 'a great celebration for everyone': the audience, the cast and now also for the costumer’s home.

"…Riccardo Muti conducts Don Pasquale in Ravenna - a great celebration for everyone." This press quote from the Italian music magazine Il giornale della musica hit the mark exactly. Watching this realistic, young and vital production, directed by the young Andrea da Rosa and listening to a high potential and unspent young cast, you feel how powerful, charming and timeless this score by Gaetano Donizetti is.
