The animated short Don Pasquale tells the story of Don Pasquale's youth during the overture, which is played life by the Staatsorchestra Stuttgart.
The Animation is screened on stage. Since everything's played life during the opera, we had to divide the entire film into little segments that could be looped and retimed life on location. After the animation and the overture are finished, the stage setting changes and we see a wonderfully perfromed play.
