Butler Opera Center: The Elixir of Love

A man and woman embrace under a full moon background on the opera stage

by Gaetano Donizetti
Matthew Schulz, director

In Italian with English surtitles


In vino veritas! Donizetti's bubbly romantic comedy follows Nemorino, a shy and hapless peasant, in his pursuit of the betrothed heiress Adina. After meeting a charlatan and purchasing a magic "elixir of love" – in truth, just a bottle of cheap Bordeaux – Nemorino is sent down an unlikely path that may in fact prove the powerful efficacy of wine in love. Sensual, sentimental and bright, The Elixir of Love is a triumph of sincerity that features one of the best-loved romanzas, "Una furtiva lagrima." 

The referenced media source is missing and needs to be re-embedded.
