Event Description
Passion promised by a “magic” love potion proves to be no match for the real thing in Gaetano Donizetti’s hilarious bel canto masterpiece, The Elixir of Love (L’elisir d’amore). A hapless, love-struck peasant named Nemorino falls head-over-heels for the wealthy Adina, but she has her eyes set on dashing young Sergeant Belcore. Laughter ensues as quack doctor Dulcamara rolls into town with a bottle of miracles, promising that Nemorino will win the girl of his dreams. But will this liquid courage pay off? This charming romantic comedy is a sparkling delight from the first sip to the last.
Performed in Italian.
Gaetano Donizetti, Music
