The Love Potion (L'elisir d'amore)

What does it mean when two people »fall« for each other? Weakness at the knees, a pounding heart, clammy hands, butterflies in the stomach – all these symptoms require a proven antidote – an elixir of love! Donizetti in his opera probes with a wink the ups and downs that those loving and in love go through and he lets the lovers watching from his audience identify with them.
