Wine a little, laugh a lot!
When young villager Nemorino’s dream of winning the beautiful Adina’s heart is on the rocks, he turns to a traveling purveyor of patent medicines and California citrus in search of a love potion. After drinking every last drop of an unusually zesty “elixir,” Nemorino feels his luck might just turn around. This heartwarming comedy with notes of sincerity (and a twist of fresh orange juice) embodies all the richness of Donizetti’s artistry and is simply too good to keep bottled up! 

Sung in Italian with English captions projected above the stage.

The Elixir of Love by Gaetano Donizetti, From Minnesota Opera (2024/2024), Directed by Daniel Ellis,, Conductor Christopher Franklin
