Sun, fun and vocal acrobatics in Laurent Pelly’s much-loved staging of Donizetti’s intoxicating and witty comedy.

Country boy Nemorino is determined to win the haughty Adina’s heart, but she refuses to give him the time of day. Can Doctor Dulcamara’s so-called ‘elixir of love’ work its magic?

Conductor Sesto Quatrini makes his house debut, as does soprano Nadine Sierra in the role of Adina. She is joined by Liparit Avetisyan, Boris Pinkhasovich and the incomparable Bryn Terfel as the genial wheeler-dealer Doctor Dulcamara.

“… this revival is as good as you will see anywhere.” – The Daily Express ★★★★★

“With the great Welsh bass-baritone Bryn Terfel superbly funny as Dulcamara, the entire show is a glorious comedy from start to finish.” – The Daily Express ★★★★★

“Nadine Sierra … simply sizzled in a way that even the best Adinas rarely do.” – Bachtrack ★★★★

“… the tonic that really works is this production, here performed with heartening warmth. They should bottle it.” – Culture Whisper ★★★★
