Valide

Gaetano Donizetti is an Italian composer who has written more than 70 operas. This opera, “L’elisir d’amore (The Elixir of Love),” is the most famous. The manager of Teatro alla Canobbiana in Milan requested Donizetti to compose an opera, and Donizetti completed composing this opera in only two weeks. Donizetti was well-known for writing operas quickly. The world premiere of this opera achieved a great success, so this opera was performed for a full month, which was remarkable for that time.

The story of this opera is a mere comedy with respect to the elixir of love. But you can listen to melodies which are filled with sorrow in this opera. You will be fascinated with a mysterious atmosphere between comedy and sorrow. The heroine, Adina, is not only a mere beautiful and rich lady but also a lady who has a tender heart. Nemorino is not only a mere young and poor villager but also a younger man who has passionate heart.  

There is no doubt that Nemorino’s aria, “Una furtiva lagrima (A Furtive Tear),” in act 2 is the most lyrical and famous aria in all operas. Some people want to listen only to this Tenor’s aria. But, this opera contains other wonderful arias and duets.
