Description: The first performance and recording in modern times of the 1845 version of Donizetti's Don Pasquale, whereby the role of Norina is given to a mezzo-soprano. Recorded live in June 2010 in the monumental setting of the Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza. Along with the transposition of key of some sections of the opera, this performance presents the alternative finale that was adopted at the time by the French prima donna Pauline Viardot, namely, a rondo in waltz time taken from 'The Maid of Artois' by the Irish composer Michael William Balfe. The opera is sung in Italian, with subtitles and booklet notes in both Italian and English.
