Summary:
America's operatic sweetheart Beverly Sills is the feisty Norina in Donizetti's classic comedy, opposite the great Alfredo Kraus as Ernesto, the man she loves. His miserly old uncle, Don Pasquale (the marvelous Gabriel Bacquier) has cut Ernesto out of his will for wanting to marry Norina--and announces his intention to take a wife himself. But the clever Doctor Malatesta (an energetic Hk̄an Hagegr̄d) comes up with a plan and all ends well, with Pasquale giving his blessing to the two young lovers. Nicola Rescigno is the conductor of this effervescent performance.

Sinfonia
Son nov'ore
Bella siccome un angelo
Ah! Un foco insolito
Son rinato
Prender moglie?
Sogno soave e casto
Due parole ancor
Quel guardo il cavaliere
So anch'io la virtù magica
E il dottor non si vede!
Pronta io son
Preludio
Povero Ernesto!
Cercherò lontana terra
E se fia che ad altro oggetto
Quando avrete introdotto
Via, da brava
Non abbiate paura
Fra da una parte
Ah, figliuol, non mi far scene
È rimasto là imprietrato
Riunita immantimente
Son tradito
I diamanti, presto, presto
Vediamo: alla modista
Signorina in tanta fretta
Parto adunque. Parto pure
Via, caro sposino
Qualche notta di cuffie
Che interminabile andirivieni
Quel nepotino
Siamo intesi
Cheti, cheti, immantimente
Aspetta, aspetta
Com'è gentil
Tornami a dir
Eccoli: attendi ben
La morale in tutto questo.
