Coming up next is Don Pasquale, streaming September 24-October 2.

When buffo seemed reviled and the arrival of Romanticism´s serious opera was imminent, Donizetti showed that this genre possibilities could still be reformulated and exploited. Don Pasquale is often considered the last great opera buffa of the belcantista Italian school. Set in the19th-century Rome, with an archetypal protagonist (the old man mad of love, attracted by a younger woman) it is the 69th title of Bergamo´s genius. It was premiered in 1843 at the Italian Theater in Paris, the city where Donizetti lived in the final stage of his compositional career.

Comic misunderstandings, secret romance, and sparkling music come together in The Silken Ladder (La scala di seta), the beloved one-act opera by Gioachino Rossini, opening May 28 at Theatro São Pedro. Presented by the Opera Academy and the Youth Orchestra of Theatro São Pedro, the production runs through May 31 with stage direction by João Malatian and musical direction by Gabriel Rhein-Schirato. Premiered in Venice in 1812, the opera follows Giulia and Dorvil, secretly married lovers whose nightly rendezvous depend on a silken ladder lowered from her bedroom window. Filled with jealous servants, mistaken identities, and Rossini’s signature crescendos, the lively comedy remains one of the composer’s most charming early successes.
