Matthew Warchus 's new production for English National Opera features a star cast of young British singers and a new translation by Jeremy Sams. Two pairs of lovers are subjected to the manipulations of the cynical Don Alfonso and, in the process, are made to re-examine some of their illusions about the nature of romantic love. Presented by Andrew McGregor.
