Immerse yourself in the Wild West with this inventive staging of Donizetti’s classic romantic comedy! Nemorino, a lovestruck but hapless farmer, pines for the wealthy, witty Adina— but Adina seems more interested in boastful Sargeant Belcore. Enter “Doctor” Dulcamara, who promises that Adina’s heart will be Nemorino’s with a few swallows of a magical love potion. Will the elixir work? Will love triumph? Or is Nemorino just, well… love-drunk?

Elixir of Love

Louis Armstrong Park

Susanna and Figaro are getting married! There’s just one problem—Figaro’s boss, the overbearing and womanizing Count Almaviva, is trying to delay their marriage in order to seduce Susanna himself. Luckily, Figaro has a few tricks up his sleeve, enlisting the help of his fiancée and the Countess to expose the Count’s philandering ways. Mozart and Da Ponte’s timeless comedy—based on Beaumarchais’s sequel to The Barber of Seville—contains some of opera’s most brilliant music…and plenty of laughs!
