Mr Lyster's Colonial Touring Opera is showcasing Gaetano Donizetti's Don Pasquale at Mozart Hall on Saturday, from 2-4.30pm. GBD Productions' 2019 show L'Elisir d'Amore in Warrnambool was also held on election day.

Don Pasquale centres on a wealthy old bachelor outraged with his nephew, Ernesto for wanting to marry an impoverished widow.

Lead, singer, opera historian and director Jamie Moffat said the show was a comedy.

"It's very silly and doesn't make a lot of sense," he said.

Moffat said the ensemble cast, which included members from Opera Australia and Opera South Australia, was of a high standard.

"It's probably one of the best cast I've worked with," he said.

Moffat said attending the show in Warrnambool was a chance to hear first-class singing and wonderful music at a bargain basement price. Tickets are $30.

"Normally, an opera would set you back about $250," he said.

"It's a good opportunity to revisit where opera really came from the early days of Opera Australia, it's a really fun afternoon."

Moffat said Mozart Hall was the perfect place for the performance.

"The hall is surprisingly nice and the acoustics are the best that I've sung in," he said.

"It surprises me that people don't know about the venue. We just love visiting Warrnambool as it's a beautiful city."
