Donizetti's The Elixir of Love
Set in 1888 New Mexico, this version of The Elixir of Love is a charming and intoxicating love story. A lovesick cowpoke is captivated by a wealthy rancher. He needs a miracle if he is to attract her attention - or perhaps, an elixir of love! This is a delightful tale of lovers' quarrels and reconciliations, magic love potions, and romantic confusions. The performance offers a colourful cast that includes a slick snake-oil salesman, a swaggering cavalry officer, a yearning suitor, and the playful object of his romantic fervor.
This comedic opera is a perfect remedy for any helpless romantic. Take a sip of this musical love potion and let the magic do its work.
