Donald Macleod presents Scottish Opera's revival of Donizetti's opera The Elixir of Love.

Donald Macleod presents Scottish Opera's revival of the 1994 version of Donizetti's bel canto opera The Elixir of Love. With soprano Elena Xanthoudakis and tenor Edgaras Montvidas.

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 naÃ¯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. 

Adina - Elena Xanthoudakis 
Nemorino - Edgaras Montvidas
Belcore - Marcin Bronikowski
Dr.Dulcamara - Francesco Facini
