Don Pasquale

As part of efforts to broaden its appeal, the Scottish Opera organises an annual Opera Go Round, which takes an opera, vacuum-packs it neatly into the back of a minibus, and sets out to perform it at venues scattered all over Scotland. This production of Donizetti's Don Pasquale has now been on the road for a few weeks; it pitches up tonight in Dumfries and the day after tomorrow in Stranraer. This absurd but delightful concoction of elderly passion and hapless youth is given lively and irreverent direction by Cynthia Buchan, with Richard Lloyd Morgan in the title role, Sam McElroy as Dr Malatesa, and Caroline Childe as the desirable Norina. The versatile David Munro provides musical accompaniment on the piano and guitar.

Nabucco

Verdi's popular biblical epic about Nebuchadnezzar was his first success and includes probably the most famous chorus ever written, from when the Hebrew slaves sing of their homeland, "Va, pensiero...". This production comes from the Chisinau National Opera, whose week-long residency at the Palace Theatre also includes two performances of the Marriage of Figaro. Boris Materinco takes the title role with Ludmila Magomedova as Abigaille and the Ukrainian tenor Aleksei Repchinsky as Ismael. Where is Chisinau? No one at the theatre seems to know but for the geographically curious we can reveal that it appears on most maps as Kishinev, the capital of Moldova, squashed between Romania and Ukraine.

Georges Enescu

Compared to Bartok and Mahler but lacking popular acclaim, the music of Romanian George Enescu may be rehabilitated by a series of performances by the CBSO, starting tonight with the third symphony conducted by Sakari Oramo. Enescu was one of the most interesting figures in 20th-century music but has been cruelly pigeon-holed as a flag-waving composer of local colour by his popular Romanian Rhapsodies. But his symphonies are lucid, lyrical, brilliantly orchestrated, and deserve their place among the pantheon of serious 20th-century compositions. Tonight the third shares the platform with the better known Mozart piano concerto in E flat K 482, with Alfred Brendel as soloist.
