From the directing concept:
“Don Pasquale hides something within himself that keeps the story current. His character speaks to me because of his sincere and authentic humanity. I can also recognize myself in him. Don Pasquale ultimately feels something he has never experienced before. He experiences the happiness of the newlyweds himself. Don Pasquale is transformed. With empathy for others, he creates an opportunity for his own inner peace and a fulfilled life in all respects.”
