Velvet-Club Connecting Lesbians & Bi-women around the World
The Elixir of Love Long before Love Island, there was love on Barry Island. Award-winning Welsh opera company Operar Ddraig joins forces with Kings Head Theatre for a quirky, romantic and enchanting new take on Donizettis dazzling comic opera. 1982. In the Welsh seaside town of Barry Island, lovelorn poet Nemorinos affections for the charismatic Italian immigrant, Adina, are met with indifference. Luckily for him, Dulcamara, a travelling peddler has the perfect solution... a love potion. As the Falklands war gains momentum and Thatcherism ravages the UK, can these two young romantics find happiness in a time of uncertainty and division? Sung in a new English version by Chris Harris and David Eaton (Carmen).
