Beschrijving
The Romanza ‘Bella siccome un angelo’ is sung by Dottor Malatesta in the first act of Donizetti’s opera Don Pasquale. Bursting with impatience, the rich, elderly Don Pasquale is waiting for Dr. Malatesta to arrive. Full of delight, the old man listens to the description his friend makes of a potential bride: fresh, innocent, gentle, and of good family to boot, the sister – fresh out of the convent – of none other than Dr Malatesta himself.
