Bath Opera: The Elixir of Love

Seend Centre, Melksham, SN12 6NS
Sunday 12th July 2026
Following the success of last year’s La Traviata in Seend, Bath Opera is delighted to return with its OperaCorto summer production of The Elixir of Love on Saturday 12 July at 7.00pm.
This fresh, fun, 90-minute English-language version of Donizetti’s much-loved comic opera will be presented with piano accompaniment, creating an intimate and engaging evening for both opera newcomers and seasoned audiences alike. The performance includes an interval.
Set in the 1950s, this colourful and fast-paced production tells a joyful story of love, hope, and a mysterious “elixir” that promises to change everything. With a cast of eight singers, sparkling music, and plenty of humour, it’s opera at its most accessible and entertaining.
The production is directed by Ryan Graham Hinds, with Justin Ayres as Music Director.

Just us for pre-show Canapés and drinks from 4:40pm at Rusty's or bring a picnic to enjoy on the field. 
Platters will be available to order alongside Opera Tickets.
