Harry Fehr’s production sets the opera in a colorful 1960s sitcom-themed backdrop of 1943 Britain, contrasting the usual monochromatic presentation, creating a lively setting.

The picturesque manor serves as a dynamic setting, showcasing Adina as the lady of the house and highlighting Nemorino’s struggles as a conscientious objector during wartime.

Zahra Mansouri's costumes richly complemented the 1960s theme, though the first act's production felt somewhat static, yearning for more interaction and stage work to engage the audience.
