An exclusive, High Definition screening of L’elisir d’amore at Grosvenor
Park, Chester.

15th August, 2009, Doors open 5.30pm

This summer will see Sky Arts bring the magic of Glyndebourne Festival live to audiences across the UK as we present Glyndebourne at Grosvenor Park - a luxury event designed to capture the Glyndebourne experience with a live, high definition simulcast of L’elisir d’amore in one of the UK’s finest Victorian parks.

Sky Arts is the official UK broadcast partner of Glyndebourne for 2009 and will also be showing this opera live on Sky Arts 2 and Sky Arts 2 HD on the night, as part of its Glyndebourne opera season every Saturday at 8pm from 18 July. The live broadcast will be hosted by Michael Portillo

Set in the idyllic grounds of Grosvenor Park in Chester, it’s the perfect place to picnic while enjoying Donizetti’s delightful opera in high definition. Get carried away by the rivalry between the penniless Nemorino and the bumptious Sergeant Belcore for the love of the beautiful Adina. Witty and charming, this is Italian opera at its best. This event is just part of the summer season of opera brought to you by Sky Arts from Glyndebourne.

7pm - Act I
