Jamie presents a special highlights programme of Donizetti’s countryside comedy, The Elixir of Love performed by Scottish Opera. Our story follows a fickle farm owner Adina, a hapless farmer Nemorino who has fallen for her and his rival, the soldier Belcore. Add in a magic love potion from the travelling Doctor Dulcamara and who knows what the outcome of this love triangle will be? From a recent production featuring Scottish Opera Emerging Artists Arthur Bruce, Catriona Hewitson and Shengzhi Ren with Roland Wood, plus the orchestra and chorus of Scottish opera with conductor Stuart Stratford - this promises to be a special celebration of music and romance.
