Double bill of comic operas composed by Donizetti and performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra and The Glyndebourne Chorus at the Glyndebourne Opera House. Enrique Mazzola conducts a 2013 performance of 'Don Pasquale' in which Alessandro Corbelli stars in the title role, alongside Danielle de Niese, Nikolay Borchev and Alek Shrader. Maurizio Benini leads the orchestra in 'L'elisir d'amore' (2009). The cast includes Ekaterina Siurina, Peter Auty, Alfredo Daza and Luciano di Pasquale.

Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play. Don Pasquale: One of the reasons why Donizetti's Don Pasquale is regarded as a cornerstone of the Italian comic opera tradition is because its characters are no mere commedia dell’arte stereotypes, but complex, vulnerable human beings. This is brought to the fore in Mariame Clément's sensitive and perceptive production, which was hailed by the Financial Times as ‘a Glyndebourne classic’. Acclaimed buffo baritone Alessandro Corbelli sings the title role ‘with just the right degree of lugubriousness’, while Danielle de Niese, one of today's most sought-after sopranos, is an ‘engaging’ and ‘irresistible’ Norina (The Telegraph). L'elisir d'amore: Acclaimed Italian conductor Maurizio Benini makes his Glyndebourne debut in Donizetti's intoxicating and deeply touching opera, whose fast-moving comic story unfolds the romantic rivalry between penniless farmhand and bumptious soldier, both vying for the love of Adina.
