One of the best known farces in opera literature, Don Pasquale puts even the funniest films to shame with its situational comedy, colourful characters and sparkling humour. Its music is particular virtuosic: the famous duet between Doctor Malatesta and Don Pasquale makes for a perennial gala-night favourite. At the same time, delving a bit deeper into the story reveals that it is really about timeless human problems and desires, disappointments and disillusionments: an elderly gent longing for a mate, lovers yearning for a decent life, mistrustful kinsfolk, a money-hungry friend.

Csaba Káel's direction emphasises the eternal validity of the themes, showing the spectacular dramatic content at the heart of the situations, the fear of loneliness, the many faces of love, the tragedy which came within a hair's breadth of a happy ending. With nuanced devices of stylization, the production now debuting at the Erkel Theater focuses on the timeless tale and its eternal relevance.

Act I
Despite his advanced age, Don Pasquale is planning to get married. The marriage he's planing, however, is not motivated by love, but by meanness and the desire to take revenge against his nephew, Ernesto, who, currently the sole heir to his legacy, has also stubbornly resisted Don Pasquale's foolish demand that he marry the rich woman his uncle has picked out for him. This is because Ernesto is in love with the young and beautiful, albeit poor, widow Norina. Don Pasquale has had enough of the lad's disobedience and therefore decides to deprive him of his inheritance. And to get back at his nephew even better, he's also going to get married himself, since this will mean that Ernesto won't be able to ask for Norina's hand at all, since he won't have a penny to offer her.
Doctor Malatesta pretends to support Don Pasquale's ridiculous plan to get married, but in reality intending to teach the old man a lesson, he hatches a scheme.
Malatesta arrives at Don Pasquale's house with the joyful news that he has found an angel from heaven to be the don's bride, and she is none other than his own sister. Malatesta's description of the girl make her out to be so lovely, gentle and submissive that Don Pasquale falls in love with her at once, without ever having seen her. When Ernesto finds out that his friend Malatesta is assisting Don Pasquale, and is even going so far as to offer up his own younger sister to be his wife, he feels horribly betrayed. After writing a farewell letter to Norina, he prepares to leave the city.Since Don Pasquale has never seen Norina, Malatesta's plan is for her to play the part of his sister, Sofronia. Norina happily agrees to take part in the game, if it will help her become united with Ernesto.

Act II

Norina appearing before Don Pasquale is a modest girl from the countryside,who is mortified with embarrassment just to be in the presence of a man. Greatly smitten, the don signs over half of his fortune and full control of his estate to Sofronia in the marriage contract. Meanwhile, the unsuspecting Ernesto arrives, but before he can ruin the deception, Malatesta lets him in on the ruse. Now enjoying the power conferred on her, fake wife Norina turns Don Pasquale's life into infernal chaos.

Act III
Spending money left and right, Norina constantly humiliates the master of the house, even going so far as to slap the don, who is gradually becoming a shadow of his former self. When Don Pasquale finds a love letter addressed to Sofronia, it's the final straw. He regrets getting married and not allowing Ernesto to marry Norina. Malatesta comes up with some new trickery: he suggests that the don can free himself from his hellish marriage if he allows Ernesto and Norino to marry, since if another woman arrives in the household, Sofronia will surely withdraw. The uncle happily allows his nephew to tie the knot, even offering money for a dowry, if only he can be rid of his impossible wife. At this point, the schemers reveal the subterfuge. Don Pasquale forgives everyone: admitting his foolishness, he gives his blessing to the loving couple.

Tisztelt Vendégeink!

 

A tavaly novemberi párizsi eseményeket követően több terrorakció történt a világban, legutóbb 2016. március 22-én újra Európában, ezúttal Brüsszelben történtek robbantásos terrormerényletek, melyek során sokan meghaltak illetve megsebesültek.

 Az áldozatok hozzátartozóinak gyászában osztozunk, a fizikai és lelki sérülteknek mielőbbi gyógyulást kívánunk.

 

Magyarország kormánya a párizsi támadásokat követően azonnal emelt szintű terrorfenyegetettség készültséget rendelt el az állampolgárok és az országunkban tartózkodó turisták fokozott védelme érdekében. A Papp László Budapest Sportarénát üzemeltető Budapesti Sportcsarnok Üzemeltető Kft. vezetése is megemelte azonnal az Aréna biztonsági védelmét, melyet azóta is – visszavonásig - folyamatosan fenntartunk korábbi, 2015.november 14-ei Közleményünk szerint.

Intézkedéseinket – visszajelzéseik alapján – Önök döntően pozitívan fogadták, tapasztalataikat sok esetben megosztották velünk, melyeket külön köszönünk és felhasználtunk!

Felhívjuk szíves figyelmüket, hogy továbbra is a megszokottnál korábban érkezzenekrendezvényeinkre, kézitáskánál nagyobb poggyászt lehetőleg ne hozzanak magukkal.

A ruházat-és csomagátvizsgálások nagy látogatószámú eseményeinken még a főbejárat előtti területen kordonokkal és sátrakkal kijelölt bejáratoknál történnek a jövőben is, egyéb esetben közvetlenül a főbejáratnál belépéskor. A gépjárművek és csomagterük ellenőrzése az Aréna területére behajtáskor eseménynapon kötelezően, a parkolóházunkba behajtáskor véletlenszerűen történik.

Rendezvényeink ideje alatt a beléptetést követően biztonsági személyzetünk folyamatosan ellenőrzi a lelátók alatti területeket, folyosókat, mellékhelyiségeket valamint a tetőszerkezetet.

Tudjuk, hogy a beléptetési szigorítások az Önök számára kellemetlenséggel járhat, de az mindannyiunk biztonsága érdekében, prevenciós célból történik.

 

Megértésüket és együttműködésüket köszönjük és kívánunk Önöknek nagyon kellemes szórakozást eseményeinken! Továbbra is szívesen vesszük észrevételeiket!

Tisztelt Vendégeink!

Mint mindannyian értesülhettünk róla, 2015. november 13-án az esti órákban Párizs több helyszínén is szervezett terrortámadás történt jellemzően nagy látogatottságú rendezvényeken.

 

Az áldozatok hozzátartozóinak gyászában osztozunk, a fizikai és lelki sérülteknek mielőbbi gyógyulást kívánunk.

 

Magyarország B szintű terrorfenyegetettség készültségi fokozatot rendelt el az állampolgárok és az országunkban tartózkodó turisták fokozott védelme érdekében. Ennek megfelelően – és annak megfelelve – a Papp László Budapest Sportarénát üzemeltető Budapesti Sportcsarnok Üzemeltető Kft. vezetése is megemelte – visszavonásig – az Aréna biztonsági védelmét.

 

Ebből kedves látogatóink annyit fognak érzékelni, hogy az Arénába történő belépéskor szigorodik az ellenőrzés, csomag-és ruházat átvizsgálás is történhet. Kérjük Önöket, hogy az elkövetkező rendezvényeinkre az eddig megszokottnál korábban érkezzenek, és ne hozzanak magukkal nagyméretű táskákat, csomagokat. Továbbra is tilos behozni az Arénába flakonos italokat, fémtárgyakat, szúró és vágóeszközöket. Az intézkedés lassítani fogja a beléptetést, ezért türelmüket kérjük, de mindannyiunk érdeke a kockázatok lehetőség szerinti csökkentése. Hasonló ellenőrzésre kell felkészülniük az Aréna Parkolóházába történő behajtáskor, ahol csomagtér ellenőrzés is lehet.

Koncertjeinken nem megszokott, de egy ideig rendőrségi jelenlét is várható rendezvényeinken, mely szintén a prevenció – így mindannyiunk - érdekében történik.

 

Megértésüket és együttműködésüket köszönjük és a történtek ellenére kívánunk Önöknek nagyon kellemes szórakozást eseményeinken!

Dear Arena visitors,

As we are sure you will be aware, the terrorist attacks that took place in Paris last November have  unfortunately been subsequently followed by a number of  incidents throughout the world, the most recent occuring in Brussels, where dozens of people died and many more were injured.

We would like to offer our sincerest sympathies to the friends and families of victims involved in all the attacks, and wish those physically injured and mentally affected the fastest possible recovery.

After the attacks in Paris, the authorities in Hungary ordered that the terror threat level in the country be raised to level ‘B’, to ensure the protection of Hungarian citizens and foreign tourists. To comply with this order, the management of Budapest Sportcsarnok Üteneltető Kft, which runs the Papp László Budapest SportsArena, announced on 14, November, 2015 that they would increase the Arena’s security protection levelsuntil further notice.

Based on feedback we’ve received from our visitors, it appears that the Arena’s measures are being deemed appropriate by those visiting. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us, they have helped us to fine-tune our security procedures.

May we kindly remind you of some of the additional security measures in place:

You are asked to continue to arrive earlier than usual for performances, and do not bring any large bags or backpacks.

For larger events, please expect security checks and bag searches on the approaches to the Arena; in the case of smaller events these checks will take place at the entrances to the Arena themselves. All vehicles entering the Arena will be searched, and the Arena also reserves the right to search any vehicle using the Arena’s parking lot.

During performances, our security team will patrol and check areas throughout the Arena.

We do realize that these measures may cause inconvenience, but we are sure that you will understand that they are in place for your own personal safety and protection, and of course your security is our uppermost concern.

Thank you for your cooperation and we look forward to welcoming you to the Arena soon. Please feel free to continue sharing your experiences and feedback with us[o1] .

 [o1]Adrienn, possibly change this as follows: ’...feedback with us, on our Facebook page (mention other places people can put feedback on?)’

Dear Visitors!

 

Most probably all of you are familiar with the fact, that a terror attack took place in Paris on the 13th of November, 2015, during the evening, generally in crowded places.

 

We share the victims’ families’ and friends’ grief and wish the fastest recovery possible for the physically and mentally injured.

 

In favor of the intensified protection of Hungarian citizens and tourists currently staying in the country, Hungary has ordered the ’B’ level terror threat.

According to this – and complying with it – the Budapest Sportcsarnok Üteneltető Kft’s. -operating Papp László Budapest SportsArena- management has raised the Arena’s security protection – until revocation.

 

What You, dear visitors will experience from the raised security protection is a more serious control at the entrance, and a possible bag and clothes scanning.

We would like to kindly ask you to arrive earlier than usually, and not to bring any large bags and packs.

It is still strictly prohibited to bring bottles, any metal objects, sharp, piercing, or cutting tools.

The order will most probably cause delays during the admission, so we kindly ask you to be patient and understand that reducing the risks is in everyone’s best interest. Please be prepared for a similar control when entering the parking lot, where the content your trunk might also be checked.

In favor of prevention and of everyone’s security, – although it was not common in the past - police officers may be present during our events.

 

Let us thank you in advance for your understandig and cooperation. We hope you will have a great time in our venue despite of the recent events in France.

 

 

Budapesti Sportcsarnok Üzemeltető Kft.’s Team
