Conductor

The opera takes place in 19th-century Italy, on one of the farms owned by the young, wealthy, and beautiful Adina. She entertains her guests by reading the tale of Tristan and Isolde, whose love is ignited by a magical drink.
Into the village square arrives a flamboyantly dressed traveling doctor and charlatan, Dulcamara, selling all kinds of potions. Naturally, the love potion attracts the most attention, and a line quickly forms. Nemorino asks for the very elixir that inflamed Isolde’s heart. Dulcamara obliges – for a hefty price – but the “potion” turns out to be nothing more than wine. Slightly drunk, Nemorino again declares his love to Adina, but she, out of spite, agrees to marry Sergeant Belcore.

Hebrew Union College

The story takes place in a Jewish shtetl, where the beautiful Goldele, abandoned as a child, learns that she has inherited a fortune from her father, who emigrated to America shortly after her birth. She decides to set out on a journey around the world to claim her father’s estate and to find her long-lost mother — and perhaps discover true love along the way. Suddenly, every young man in the village begins to court her, including the handsome student Misha, whom she secretly loves. But Goldele declares that she will marry only the one who succeeds in finding her mother.
