Released in 1843 at the Italian Theater in Paris, Don Pasquale de Gaetano Donizetti, is often considered the last great bufa opera of the Italian Belcantist school. Set in nineteenth-century Rome, with an archetypal protagonist (the maddened old man of love, attracted to a younger woman), she first arrived at the theater of Teatro Colón in June 1910 and then returned in fifteen more seasons, the Last in the summer of 1998.
