Opera Today

Joan and I went to see the opera in Denver today, 2:00pm.

Gaetano Donizetti’s amusing tale of deception and disguise is transported to the wild west of America in the 1800’s. This rousing version, which has toured to rave reviews across the US and Canada, hits Denver in perfect time to keep the theme of the National Western Stock Show momentum going strong!


Don Pasquale's nephew, Ernesto, refuses to marry the woman his uncle has selected for him, choosing instead the poor widow Norina. Don Pasquale decides to marry and disinherit his nephew, which leads to a comedy of errors as Ernesto and Norina trick the Don into letting them marry. Set in the Wild West of America in the 1800's the staging was a great success Joan and I thought.
