Gaetano Donizetti was a prolific opera composer, well-versed in all the styles of his genre. However, one thing was still missing for his happiness: success in Paris, the opera metropolis of the era. In the late 1830s, his dream finally came true. The French version of his Lucia di Lammermoor, as well as first performances of La Fille du régiment, La Favorite and Les Martyrs, brought him a series of successes. On January 3, 1843, Don Pasquale, his second comic opera, went on stage for the first time at the Théâtre des Italiens in Paris. The conditions were favorable, since the cast was the same that had made Bellini’s I Puritani a brilliant triumph eight years earlier; indeed, Donizetti’s Don Pasquale, one of the last operas of the Italian buffa genre so successful in the 18th century, was also a resounding success that established the opera’s popularity, which continues to this day

Donizetti had a libretto at his disposal for his opera that was completely committed to the traditions of opera buffa and its roots in the Venetian comedia dell’arte. In countless operas and comedies, this stereotypical story had long since passed over the stage; Donizetti, however, transported the material, which had already made generations laugh, into his present: as an accomplished opera composer of his era, he broke up the character stereotypes and musically transformed the acting archetypes of the libretto into individual characters who, in their own way, experienced a story as it could happen to anyone else. This is how his audience wanted – and still wants – to experience theater!
