The Northern Aldborough Festival is thrilled to welcome back Bampton Classical Opera in a double bill of comedies by Haydn. La Canterina (or Diva) of the title is Gasparina, a temperamental, manipulative and grasping young singer who is given a singing lesson by the lecherous teacher Maestro Pelagio. Other characters, including Gasparina’s chaperone-cum-agent Apollonia and Don Ettore, a handsome jewel thief, become involved and the situation deteriorates rapidly!
The Apothecary is a comedy of great warmth and ebullience about a love quartet between work-shy chemist Sempronio, his beautiful (and rich) ward Grilletta, and his two love rivals, poor apprentice Mengone and wealthy dandy Volpino.
