John Fulljames directs Rossini's bel canto opera. Based on a story by Sir Walter Scott, it is a love story set against the turbulent background of the sixteenth-century Scottish Highlands. King James V is entranced when he meets a beautiful woman, Elena, in the Highlands. But he is dismayed to learn that she is the daughter of his enemy, Douglas. Elena, meanwhile, is in love. But not with James V or her fiancée…

Starring Joyce DiDonato (Elena), Juan Diego Flórez (Uberto), Justina Gringyte (Albina), Robin Leggate (Serano), Daniela Barcellona (Malcolm), Simón Orfila (Douglas), Colin Lee (Rodrigo – Michael Spyres, June 7 & 11) and Pablo Bemsch (Bertram).

Michele Mariotti conducts the Orchestra and Chorus of the Royal Opera House. (Sung in Italian with English surtitles. Running time three hours 20 mins with one interval.)
