Funny Girl, Christ Church Centre

Love and Comedy in Donizetti’s romantic opera buffa (L’Elisir d’Amore and Don Pasquale).
Conductor Lewis Gaston gives this new lecture for Opera Prelude which elucidates the curiously addictive music of Gaetano Donizetti. With arias and duets from both L’elisir d’amore and Don Pasquale, not only will this be an operatic feast, but will allow the audience to compare and contrast Donizetti’s evolving, and enduring, musical handling of the operas’ characters.

Lewis Gaston (conductor), Callie Gaston (soprano), Alex Haigh, (tenor) and Laurie O’Brien (piano).

Friday 8th June, 10.30 – 12.30
