Opera Holland Park is proud to present this first ever production by the company of Donizetti's great buffa tour de force. Conducted by Richard Bonynge, one of the bel canto masters of his generation, the production opens the 2011 season in fine style.
The opera tells the story of how one old man learns a harsh and expensive lesson when he tries to stand in the way of true love. In the finest traditions of the genre we enjoy disguises, crooked lawyers, scheming doctors and at its heart, two love-struck youngsters trying to find a way to be together. Above all, Donizetti's score is suffused with beauty and vivacity from which a torrent of wonderful music tumbles.
