Join Weber State University music professor Dr. Karen Brookens for a lecture of Donizetti's Don Pasquale. While Don Pasquale is traditionally set in Rome, Utah Opera's performance uses the Wild West as its backdrop. Don Pasquale is the story of an elderly, wealthy, (and miserly) bachelor who has no heir. To remedy the situation, he tries to persuade his young nephew Ernesto to accept an arranged marriage. Ernesto refuses to obey his uncle since his heart is already pledged to the glamorous yet penniless widow, Norina. In a fit of anger, Pasquale turns the tables on his nephew by disinheriting him and deciding to get married and produce an heir himself. After a bewildering chain of events involving a little fraud and some bogus legal proceedings, the story ends well with true love conquering all.
