Donizetti - The Elixir of Love
Presented by Donald MacLeod
Scottish opera presents a revival of the 1994 production by Giles Havergal of this classic bel canto comic opera by Donizetti. A touching love story conducted by Francesco Corti with the leading roles of Adina and the na脙炉ve and love-lorn Nemorino taking respectively by Australian/Greek soprano Elena Xanthoudakis and Lithuanian tenor Edgaras Montvidas. Donald MacLeod's superb story-telling is enhanced and illustrated with comments from the Musical Director Francesco Corti, the Chief Executive Alex Reedijk and the two principal singers. Francesco Facini gives a winning performance of the comic role of Dr Dulcamara with a fine sense of comic timing and Marcin Bronikovski playing Belcore is a perfect mix of sexy bravado and pomposity. Recorded at Edinburgh's Festival theatre last November.
