L’elisir d’amore

...Covent Garden Opera House

With Vittorio Grigolo, here singing ‘Una furtiva lagrima' on YouTube.

‘It hits the mark, with some merry comic routines and guest appearances from a dog and a tractor, as well as enough real emotion to pull at the audience’s heart-strings in the final scenes.’
Rupert Christiansen, Telegraph

I enjoyed this production of Donizetti’s opera a couple of years ago and even more this afternoon because it was a ‘Family Day’ matinee with an auditorium full of twitching children. Delightful.

It is being beamed live to cinemas on Wednesday 26th November.
