The Opera Omaha is an innovative company that produces opera performances in creative formats and styles, all while co-creating artist-led programs for specific community service organizations. This time around, the performing group will present Donizetti's comic opera Don Pasquale as it arrives this season.
Most viewers describe the production as a scintillating and witty story of intrigue mixed with revenge. The plot follows Don Pasquale, an old bachelor who is furious at his nephew, Ernesto, for refusing to marry a bride of his choosing and favoring a penniless widow named Norina. The plot thickens when the bachelor’s friend, Dr. Malatesta, puts forward a fictitious sister as the perfect candidate for marriage, yet this "sister" is a character we already know. Be part of the audience to find out how the story unfolds!
Earlier this year, Opera Omaha announced its newest General Director, Allison Swenson, who will succeed Roger Weitz. With twenty years of experience in the field. Swenson shares in an interview her deep appreciation for Opera Omaha, praising its creativity, talent discovery, and previous leadership.

The creative team will comprise Gary Thor Wedow as the conductor and Octavio Cardenas as the show director, with lighting design by Abigal Hoke-Brady and wig & makeup design by Ronell Oliveri. Their efforts combined helped bring to life the mid-19th century Rome setting of the play.
