Description |
A bottle of wondrous potion (most likely snake-oil),a furtive tear, a gullible youth, a gorgeous girl and gloriously fresh music all combine to bring Donizetti's witty confection to life in the intimate setting of the Merlyn Theatre.
Two sparkling casts feature favourite Melbourne artists such as David Hobson, Antoinette Halloran, Roger Lemke, Roger Howell and conductor Warwick Stengards as they join forces with some of opera's brightest rising stars, including Operatunity Oz finalist Roy Best and, fresh from her debut at Covent Garden, brilliant young, soprano Elena Xanthoudakis. |
