'L'Elisir d’Amore'

Back

Opera. One of the most beloved bel canto operas by Gaetano Donizetti.

Synopsis

Love potions have been a mainstay of romantic stories for thousands of years, but 'L'Elisir d’Amore’ takes a clever, unexpected twist on this tradition: this time, the happy ending is not prompted by a love potion (which is actually just red wine!) but by a story about a love potion. When the opera begins, the heroine is reading Tristan and Isolde, the mediaeval legend in which the two characters fall in love after drinking a magic elixir.

L'Elisir d'Amore is a perfect comedy, because the main characters manage to join together because of their own acts, not something they drank. In an unpredictable twist, Nemorino involuntarily conquers Adina: the real magic is not in a bottle but in the honesty, friendship and respect that can unite two hearts.
