Bath Opera presents: Donizetti's The Elixir of Love at Wincanton
Bath Opera brings Donizetti's much-loved comic opera 'The Elixir of Love' to Wincanton Memorial Hall as part of its Summer Tour 2026. This OperaCorto production offers great opera in just 90 minutes plus a 30-minute interval, sung in English and accompanied by piano.
The production tells the charming story of the shy Nemorino, who believes a mysterious love potion will help him win the heart of the witty and independent Adina — but travelling salesman Dulcamara may not be quite the miracle-worker he claims to be! Packed with romance, humour and glorious melodies, including the famous aria 'Una furtiva lagrima' this lively adaptation is perfect for both seasoned opera lovers and those discovering opera for the first time.
There are two performances at Wincanton Memorial Hall: an evening performance on Friday 10th July 2026 at 7.30pm, and a second evening performance on Saturday 11th July at 7.30pm. The Elixir of Love is one of nine performances on Bath Opera's Summer Tour 2026, which also takes in venues across Bath, Somerset and Wiltshire between late June and mid-July.
Tickets are available at www.bathopera.com/elixir-of-love, with an early bird discount available until 18th May 2026. For group booking enquiries, please contact chair.bathopera@hotmail.co.uk. Bath Opera is a registered charity, no: 1185066.
