The Royal Opera’s Bryn Terfel leads the cast in this new production of Donizetti’s comedy of domestic drama across two generations. The witty story of a middle-aged man whose wife runs rings around him—with her own ulterior romantic purpose in mind—has long delighted and surprised audiences, especially as presented in these virtuosic performances. This exhilarating production shows how contemporary the characters still are and how immediate and touching the story remains.
