There's strong casting in all the big roles: 24-year-old British-Irish tenor Jay Broadhurst's Nemorino offers a stylish, warmly communicative account of a complex role: 4 stars from me in @theStage for @DorsetOpera's The Love Potion

A “surreal experience”: Dorset charities describe the moment they met King Charles and Queen Camilla in Blandford.
Their Majesties visited the newly refurbished Corn Exchange to hear about the amazing work local organisations are doing - while also enjoying a bit of opera.

Jay Broadhurst, 24 from Dorset Opera Festival performed to the king and Queen.
He said: “It was possibly the most surreal experience of my life and a real honour to perform for Their Majesties.
“It was certainly a highlight of my fledgling career.”
