Waterperry Opera Festival, in association with Charles Court Opera, present
The elixir of love
A comic opera by Donizetti, with a new English libretto by David Eaton
Tue 8 - Sat 19 September - Wilton's music hall
|
Donizetti’s timeless comedy, The Elixir of Love, bursts to life in this beautiful new production, fresh from Waterperry. Produced by WOF’s and CCO’s Artistic Director, John Savournin, it is directed by John Wilkie and musically directed by CCO’s David Eaton.
Under the glow of lanterns and bunting, a lively fête transforms the stage into a village green beside a bustling chocolate factory. Adina, savvy and independent, delights in her freedom, while the lovestruck Nemorino longs to be noticed. When the swaggering Belcore arrives to claim Adina’s hand, and the charismatic Dulcamara offers bottled courage, misunderstandings multiply and passions run high. With an exciting young cast, including WOF and CCO favourites alike, this is one not to be missed. |
