SYNOPSIS
Don Pasquale is a rich old man who, because his only successor, his nephew Ernesto, rejects the marriage arrangement he made for him, declares that he himself will marry and produce a child.
Ernesto is in love with the young widow, Norina. Ernesto's friend Malatesta is a doctor, who hatches a plan for the young couple. Disguised as his younger sister, Norina is introduced to Don Pasquale, who falls head over heels for her as she plays the pure young maiden.
He signs the marriage papers, upon which Norina discards all pretence and makes a complete transformation into the wife from hell, indulging in every possible luxury. Don Pasquale is at a complete loss and starts to regret that he married. He finally consents to the marriage of Ernesto and Norina. Even though realizing that he has been duped by Malatesta’s scheme, he gives his blessing to the young couple.
