"The audience was entranced" THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

"A classic, unforgettable performance" THE GUARDIAN

A delicious frothy tale of romance on the sunny Italian Riviera.

You will feel the sun on your skin in the Italian piazza as the glamorous characters in this love story disclose their roles.

Shy Nemorino is convinced he needs help to make him irresistible to the object of his desire - the flirtatious Adina. On purchasing a love potion (wine!) from the visiting quack he is distressed to see it appearing to have the opposite effect. Thinking he needs more potion, he enrols in the army to afford another bottle. When Adina sees him surrounded by village girls (who think he has come into money) she realises she is jealous and is in love with him after all. Nemorino is convinced the potion has worked and the quack does a roaring trade...

These performances include the role debut of Camilla Roberts as Adina and UK debut of American tenor Dimitri Pittas.
