Audience Members
"A charming Cast ~ and such good acting!"
"Two aching young hearts in love... a misguided uncle... a conniving friend! A tale set in Rome long ago, where everyone hopes for a dream come true."
Che Interminabile Andirivieni
What an endless coming and going!
sung by Opera Chorus
"Che interminabile andirivieni!" (What an interminable coming and going!), also known as the Servants' Chorus. It is sung in the third act, capturing the exasperated sentiment of the servants who are constantly busy due to the lavish and hectic lifestyle brought upon by Norina, disguised as Sofronia, after she "marries" the old and wealthy bachelor Don Pasquale.

Aspetta aspetta cara sposina
Wait, wait, my dear bride
sung by Opera Chorus
Don Pasquale, has been tricked into marrying a seemingly sweet but soon-to-be-disobedient Norina (disguised as Sofronia). Malatesta persuades him to moderate his plan and Pasquale, believing him an ally, consents to his conditions. (Opera Hub).
