This function featured a cast of notable national and international singers such as:
- Nicola Ulivieri, Italian baritone bass who played the role of Don Pasquale,
- the soprano Jaquelina Livieri in the skin of Norina,
- the tenor Santiago Ballerini as Ernesto,
- the baritone Darío Solari playing Doctor Malatesta and
- the bass Mario de Salvo as the Notary.
Premiered in 1843 at the Italian Theater in Paris , Gaetano Donizetti's Don Pasquale is often considered the last great comic opera of the Italian bel canto school. Set in 19th century Rome, with an archetypal protagonist (the old man maddened with love, attracted by a younger woman), it first arrived at the Teatro Colón in June 1910. And then it returned in fifteen more seasons, the last in the summer of 1998.
