----------------------------------------
Don Pasquale es una ópera buffa en tres actos de Gaetano Donizetti. Se la considera como la última de las grandes óperas bufas italianas.

Fue compuesta cuando Donizetti había apenas sido nombrado director musical de la corte del Emperador Fernando I de Austria. Don Pasquale fue su ópera número 64 de las 66 que compuso.

El libreto fue adaptado por Giovanni Ruffini del texto de la ópera italiana Ser Marco Antonio, escrito por Angelo Anelli.

La intriga está inspirada en la Comedia del arte y los personajes de la pieza hacen eco directamente a los generalmente presentados en este tipo de comedia. Así, Don Pasquale se compara a Pantalone, Ernesto al enamorado Pierrot, Malatesta al listo Scapino, en tanto que Norina representa a Colombina.

Fue estrenada con gran éxito en el Théâtre Italien de París en 3 de enero de 1843
---------------------------------------
Don Pasquale is an opera buffa, or comic opera, in three acts by Gaetano Donizetti. The composer Giovanni Ruffini wrote the Italian libretto after Angelo Anelli's libretto for Stefano Pavesi's Ser Marcantonio (1810).

At the time of its composition, Donizetti had just been appointed music director and composer for the imperial court of Emperor Ferdinand I of Austria, and Don Pasquale was the 64th of an eventual 66 operas he composed.

The opera, in the tradition of opera buffa, harkens back to the stock characters of the commedia dell'arte. Pasquale is recognizable as the blustery Pantalone, Ernesto as the lovesick Pierrot, Malatesta as the scheming Scapino, and Norina as a wily Columbina. The false Notary echos a long line of false officials as operatic devices.

Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:

MALATESTA
Bravo, bravo, Don Pasquale!

NORINA
La morale in tutto questo
è assai facil trovarsi:
Ve la dico presto presto
se vi piace d'ascoltar.
Ben è scemo di cervello
chi s'ammoglia in vecchia età:
va a cercar col campanello
noie e doglie in quantità.

DON PASQUALE
La morale è molto bella,
applicarla a me si sta.
Sei pur fina, bricconcella,
m'hai servito come va.

MALATESTA ED ERNESTO
La morale è molto bella,
Don Pasqual l'applicherà.
Quella cara bricconcella
lunga più di noi la sa.


English Libretto or Translation:

MALATESTA
Bravo, bravo, Don Pasquale!

NORINA
The moral in all this
is very easy to find:
I'll tell you soon
if you like to listen.
Ben is a stupid man
who admires himself in old age: he
goes to look for bells
in quantity and labor.

DON PASQUALE
Morality is very beautiful,
apply it to me.
You are fine, little boy,
you have served me as it goes.

MALATESTA AND ERNESTO
Morality is very beautiful,
Don Pasqual will apply it.
That dear little croaker
more than us knows it.
