Elisir D'amore - Delaware Valley Opera

Gaetano Donizetti’s comic masterpiece, The Elixir of Love (L'elisir d'amore), features some of opera's most beloved melodies, including the famous tenor aria, "Una furtiva lagrima." The delightfully deceitful Dr. Dulcamara convinces the clueless Nemorino that he has the elixir of love, needed to win over his fickle sweetheart, Adina. L'elisir d'amore is a melodramma giocoso in two acts with a libretto by Felice Romani, itself based on Eugène Scribe's libretto for the composer Daniel Auber's opera Le philtre (1831).

Did You Know... The Elixir of Love is one of the most frequently performed of all Donizetti's operas, and there are a number of recordings. It appears as number 20 on Opera America's list of the 20 most-performed operas in North America. It contains the popular aria "Una furtiva lagrima" one of the most famous and often-excerpted arias in all of opera.
