The Elixir of Love

Approved

Sophisticated and wealthy, Adina is the most eligible young woman in her small Italian town. The clumsy but endearing Nemorino loves her, but she only has eyes for Belcore, the dashing sergeant who has swept her off her feet. When a travelling doctor arrives in town, Nemorino buys a magical love potion from him in the hopes of winning Adina’s affections. Will the elixir be the cure-all for Adina’s indifference and secure a “happily ever after” ending for the couple? 

Gaetano Donizetti’s The Elixir of Love is a light and lyrical comedy in the bel canto style. It is an opera with the tenderest of hearts and the sweetest of melodies, including Nemorino’s beloved aria ‘Una furtiva lagrima’.
