Glyndebourne will settle in for a five-day stay from Tuesday (November 6) with three stunning productions to wow you with, and the company – which is under the leadership of new Music Director Robin Ticciati – will begin with a new production of Gaetano Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore.

The romantic comedy is set amongst the olive groves of southern Italy, and so it's no surprise to learn that the piece is sung in Italian with English supertitles.

The story is centred around the love rivalry between the pauper with the passionate heart, Nemorino, and Sergeant Belcore – a charming womaniser with a fantastically inflated ego.

Both seek the heart of the beautiful, self-assured Adina, who is herself seeking a grand passion. But whose passion will she gravitate towards?

L'elisir d'amore will be directed by Enrique Mazzola, with the cast led by Adriana Kucerova (Adina), Peter Auty (Nemorino) and Massimo Cavalletti (Belcore).

If you can't make Tuesday's delivery, fret not – the company invite you to view it again next Friday (November 8).

On Wednesday (November 7), Verdi's Macbeth will command attentions. "This tragedy is one of man's greatest creations," said the composer of the Bard's work. Verdi's Macbeth is a drama, not a melodrama, and by proving himself to be a master of dramatic
orchestrations, he created an opera of Shakespearian dimensions.

It has figured as a central work in Glyndebourne's history since its first British performance in 1938, but this is the first time that the piece has been toured in 50 years. Savour the moment.

Once again, this will come in Italian with English supertitles. There will be a second chance to settle back with Macbeth on Saturday November 10.

We did promise you that the Glyndebourne visit comprised three productions, and the third is Albert Herring, which will be staged at the venue on Thursday, November 8.

Set in Loxford in Suffolk, the opera opens with the search for a virtuous girl for the office of May Queen. However, the impossibility of this search results in the election of a male youth of unquestionable chastity – Albert Herring…the combination of wit, mockery and tenderness make this one of Britten's most admired works.

In a slight change from the majority of theatrical productions at the venue, it's curtain up at 7.15pm nightly. Tickets range from £21 to £49. Call with your bookings on 0870 060 6652.
