The Elixir of Love
The Elixir of LovePresented by Saffron Hall
Beautiful and popular Adina is completely out of Nemorino’s league. Shy and sincere but desperate to catch her eye, the arrival of the smooth-talking Doctor Dulcamara and his apparently miraculous concoctions provides the perfect opportunity to change his fate. But Nemorino soon discovers that love is rarely straightforward, and that perhaps his ‘Elixir’ is just wine after all…
English Touring Opera return to Saffron Hall with Donizetti’s sparkling The Elixir of Love in a new production set in a down on its luck seaside town.
Complete with exquisite music played by a 16 piece orchestra, The Elixir of Love is one of Donizetti’s most frequently staged operas and a classic will they? won’t they? story packed with warmth and romance. Enjoy the highs and lows of your favourite romantic comedy, performed by world-class musicians, at your local theatre.
Performed in English with English surtitles
