Don Pasquale Sponsorships and Premium Tickets

When it comes to combining beautiful melodies and vocal pyrotechnics with laugh-out-loud comedy, no-one is a match for bel canto master Gaetano Donizetti, the composer of The Elixir of Love, Lucia di Lammermoor, and many other blockbuster opera house hits. In our hilarious new version directed by the irrepressible Josh Shaw, Founder of Pacific Opera Project, the titular Don Pasquale becomes “Donald Pasquale'', a film mogul in the Santa Barbara silent film business of the early 1920’s.

Your sponsorship helps us pay for production costs to keep ticket prices affordable. When you become a sponsor, you are supporting rising stars like soprano (and Santa Barbara native!) Jana McIntyre, bass Andrew Potter, and tenor Matthew Grills as they make their OSB debuts. Our company's own Studio Artist baritone Efrain Solis returns as the cunning Dr. Malatesta, and Opera SB Artistic and General Director Kostis Protopapas conducts members of the Opera SB Orchestra.
