Don Pasquale (complete opera) / Il campanello di notte (one act opera)

"This welcome issue provides a good introduction to two of Donizetti's lighter compositions and at bargain price"
(MusicWeb May 2006)

First release on CD

Donizetti's comic masterpiece - a cruel, amusing take on the generation gap - has a concentration and vitality that sets it in a class of its own. In this all-Italian cast production Anna Maccianti as Norina stands out. Plus Il campanello, a one-act farce that is a favourite among Donizetti's shorter operas.

Includes track-by-track synopses
