The premiere of the comic opera L'elisir d'amore by Gaetano Donizetti will open the 73rd season of NOVAT. “Love Potion” (the fortieth opera by the brilliant Italian composer, written by him at the age of 34) is a completely modern story, although the public first heard and saw it in Milan 185 years ago. In the 21st century, the chief director of the Novosibirsk Opera, Vyacheslav Starodubtsev, presents this entertaining, elegant, witty story to the audience as an opera tasting.

This is a simple story of an ingenious guy Nemorino, who believes in the magic power of the love potion, which turns out to be ... plain wine. How will the love story of Nemorino and Adina end? The sparkling plot of a subtle love story is filled with lots of lively tunes, have been keeping the audience’s attention for 185 years, and the brilliant arias like “Una furtiva lagrima” are forever in the list of golden opera classics.

“L’elisir d’amore” will be presented at the NOVAT stage by the chief director of the theatre Vyacheslav Starodubtsev: “In the past people believed that the real feelings like love, hope, trust can turn a usual water into magic potion, and nowadays, in a society of endless consumption people need a whole different remedies”.
