SIAMSA Tíre will host a special event on this Saturday night which is a must for fans of opera.

Irish National Opera presents  Don Pasquale, Donizetti’s effervescent comic masterpiece, at 8pm on Saturday, February 11.

It’s described as a witty, high-spirited, inter-generational tug of war about love and money — young love and old money, whipped up by lots of deceit.

Don Pasquale is a grumpy old bachelor, Ernesto, his good-looking young heir and Norina, an attractive young widow.

This unorthodox love triangle yields a hilarious and touching masterpiece that takes a riotously entertaining slant on a threat of disinheritance, a mock marriage, and a spendthrift wife who believes husbands should be seen and not heard.

Don Pasquale is directed by Orpha Phelan, with set and costume design by Nicky Shaw and lighting design by Matt Haskins.

Bass Graeme Danby sings the title role, with tenor Rhodri Prys Jonesas his nephew Ernesto and soprano Kelli-Ann Masterson asNorina and it features Kerry mezzo-soprano Leanne Fitzgerald from Lixnaw, as the obliging Notary. Don Pasquale features the Irish National Opera orchestra.
