Light, lyrical and bursting with energy, L’elisir d’amore (The Elixir of Love) returns to our stage for Festival 2023.Nemorino loves Adina, but she’s dazzled...

L'elisir d'amore Donizetti

Annabel Arden’s joyful production of L’elisir d’amore has become a real Festival favourite. Over the years it has become the vehicle for plenty of young stars, who’ve gone on to make their mark.

The latest soprano to step into Adina’s stylish shoes is Nardus Williams. In the video below Nardus tells us about her Glyndebourne journey, from the chorus to singing principal roles in Festival and Tour. Plus, chorus master Aidan Oliver tells us more about the many ways that Glyndebourne supports young talent.

Sophisticated and wealthy, Adina is the toast of her small Italian town. Country boy Nemorino loves her, but she only has eyes for Belcore, the smooth-talking sergeant who has swept her off her feet. So when a travelling doctor arrives in town Nemorino pins all his hopes on a magical love potion. But nothing in this topsy-turvy comedy is ever quite as it seems…

Light, lyrical and bursting with energy, L’elisir d’amore was the biggest success of Donzietti’s career – a comedy with the softest of hearts and the sweetest of melodies, including Nemorino’s much-loved aria ‘Una furtive lagrima’. Updating the action to the 1940s, Annabel Arden’s production celebrates the opera’s original joyful, colourful spirit, painting an affectionate picture of an Italy on the brink of political change. Ben Gernon conducts.
