Elixir of Love

Donizetti’s charming comedy is about a wide eyed country boy in love with the mayor’s daughter, so what setting could be better than a small farming town in the old west? In this ingenious update, the naive Nemorino believes that a love potion will win Adina’s heart. Blossoming from a shy cowboy to a plucky entrepreneur, he captures both his sweetheart and the American dream over the course of this delightful opera buffa.
