The Sorcerer


  • Charles Court Opera Water Street Buxton, England, SK17 6XN United Kingdom (map)

'The masters of G&S in small spaces’ make a welcome return to Wilton's Music Hall while touring their brand new production of one of the first G&S operas. This rarely performed masterpiece showcases Gilbert at his topsy-turvy best, with sumptuous music from Sullivan that will set your toes tapping as if by magic.

Based on Gilbert’s story An Elixir of Love, it tells the tale of Alexis, a man obsessed with the idea that all should fall in love. He enlists a ‘Family Sorcerer’ of J.W. Wells & Co. in London to administer a love potion to the entire village - via a teapot - and soon mayhem ensues…

This highly anticipated production promises to be a magical occasion, featuring some of CCO’s finest performers.

Directed by John Savournin
Conducted by Murray Hipkin
