“…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, youthful and vital production, directed by the young Andrea da Rosa, and listening to a young cast of high potential, you get a feeling for just how powerful, charming and timeless this score by Gaetano Donizetti really is.

This production was recorded during the Ravenna Festival, in the gorgeous and patriarchal Teatro Dante Alighieri. Maestro Riccardo Muti shows once again what it means to perform an Italian opera with a young and professional Italian cast – an outstanding and breathtaking performance.

Live recording from the Ravenna Festival, 2006.
