THE ELIXIR OF LOVE

“L’Elisir d’Amore”

Gaetano Donizetti’s comic opera masterpiece

UPDATE: 1pm Pre-Performance Dinner Added (see below)

The Bel Canto master Gaetano Donizetti’s L’Elisir d’Amore, a much-loved Italian opera buffa, centers on the naïve Nemorino, who is besotted with the beautiful bar owner Adina. However, she torments him with her indifference and attaches herself instead to the experienced charmer Belcore. Nemorino, in desperation, wonders if a love potion may be the answer to his prayers. He seeks the help of the traveling quack Dr. Dulcamara, who gives him ‘The Elixir of Love.’ Is this the reason for Nemorino’s sudden popularity with every girl in the village? Will he gain Adina’s love before it’s too late?  

It’s an exquisitely-sung romp which one critic describes as “having something to delight both the seasoned opera enthusiast and the uninitiated opera newbie.”
