Acclaimed Italian conductor Maurizio Benini makes his Glyndebourne debut in Donizetti’s intoxicating and deeply touching opera, whose fast-moving comic story unfolds the romantic rivalry between penniless farmhand and bumptious soldier, both vying for the love of Adina. Will the bogus Dr Dulcamara’s potion – the elixir of love – help farmhand Nemorino win her heart? Peter Auty takes the role of Nemorino with Ekaterina Siurina as Adina.
Recorded in High Definition and true surround sound.
“An enchanting account. Set in Mussolinis Italy, but without distorting the plot or detracting from the pervasive charm of the piece, it is wonderfully cast and a perfect team effort.” (BBC Music Magazine)
