| Welcome to Swansea City Opera |
| |
SCO is the City of Swansea's flag-ship opera company, touring high quality opera to venues throughout the UK, including Scotland and the Isle of Man.
Our new production for 2008/09 is The Elixir of Love (L'Elisir d'Amore) by Gaetano Donizetti
Popular since its premiere in Milan in 1832, this charming comedy has delighted audiences throughout the world. It tells of the peasant Nemorino who takes some magic elixir sold to him by a quack doctor, so that he can win the heart of a wealthy land-owner, who (to spite Nemorino) has announced her marriage to a sergeant. The score is full of memorable tunes, including Adina’s “Prendi” and Nemorino’s “Una furtiva lagrima”, a favourite of tenors from Caruso to Gigli, and the aria that catapulted Pavarotti to fame.
L’Elisir d’Amore is expertly sung by the fine singers of Swansea City Opera to music which will truly charm the senses.
Sung in: English
