Royal Opera favourite Bryn Terfel heads the cast for a new production of Donizetti’s comedy of domestic drama across two generations.
The witty story of a middle-aged man whose supposed young wife runs rings around him – with her own ulterior romantic purpose in mind – has long delighted and surprised audiences, not least as presented with the sparkle of its music and the virtuoso skill of its performers.
Damiano Michieletto’s exhilarating production shows how contemporary the characters still are and how immediate and touching the story remains - and it shows at Milton Keynes Gallery on Sunday (October 27, 2pm) with a live scrrening to the Skyroom.

Music Gaetano Donizetti Libretto Giovanni Ruffini and Gaetano Donizetti Conductor Evelino Pidò
