The Elixir of Love

Creative Quarter Over the Water

Wild Arts (★★★★ The Guardian, ★★★★★ Opera Now) revives its hit production of Donizetti’s sun-kissed comedy – relocated to a 1950s seaside, with a mischievous English translation and a sparkling new arrangement for chamber orchestra.

Directed by Guido Martin-Brandis, and conducted by Orlando Jopling, this riotous tale of lovers and luck-chasing liars is the perfect summer treat.

A fabulous cast is led by a selection of internationally-renowned performers and rising stars, including Galina Averina, Timothy Nelson, and Xavier Hetherington / Matthew Curtis, accompanied by the world-class players of the Wild Arts Ensemble.
