The Bronx Opera Company continues its season of comic operas with Don Pasquale
The Bronx Opera – the borough's only opera/musical theatre company – concludes its 42nd year with Gaetano Donizetti’s sly comic masterpiece, Don Pasquale, presented entirely in English. This perennial favorite concerns the spiteful Don Pasquale and his attempt to thwart the romance of his young nephew, Ernesto to the lovely Norina. It is Pasquale, however, who gets thwarted as the company rallies to teach him a lesson about love, marriage, and money. The opera becomes a merry dance of mistaken identity, wry wit, and broad comedy. Jack Anderson White and Michael Blake O’Hearn alternate in the the role as Don Pasquale. The company includes Robert Arthur Hughes, Rogelio B. Peñaverde Jr., Nicole Lee Aiossa, Katherine Wessinger, Jason Plourde, Mischa Bouvier, David Kelleher-Flight, and Michael Sarnoff-Wood. Directed by Royston Coppenger and conducted by Michael Spierman and Michael C. Haggler, the production features a full orcheatra and chorus. For further information, log on to www.bronxopera.org.

"The desire to accomplish something great is resolved in
your will to succeed. Succeed and you'll have removed all doubt.
The question remains in whether you doubt your ability to succeed.
Overcome that
and the world might be yours to give & share."
"Be Not Afraid of Growing Slowly, Be Afraid Only of Standing Still"
"Life is not measured by the number
of breaths we take,
but by the moments that take our breath away.
For as we all grow older, we realize,
it is not the things we did in Life which we often regret,
but the things we did not do."

is the Fuel of Success...
