The effervescent Peruvian & Mexican American Soprano Vanessa Becerra stars as Norina in Donizetti’s classic comedy, Don Pasquale.

Experience Donizetti’s comic opera like never before! Set in vibrant 1980s Miami, the fully staged production is enhanced by Anouar Brissel’s cutting-edge interactive video set. Think Pink Flamingos, Golf Carts, and Jazzercise!

The extraordinary cast includes tenor Jonah Hoskins as Ernesto, baritone Alexey Lavrov as Dr. Malatesta, and bass-baritone Matt Burns as Don Pasquale. Noah Lindquist leads Festival Orchestra Napa in this enduring tale of love and deception. Jean- Romain Vesperini directs.
