Latvian National Opera - Gaetano Donizetti "L'elisir d'amore"

Who hasn't dreamt of a magical elixir to solve all the problems of love! Bel canto master Gaetano Donizettis popular comedy will surely touch the tender heartstrings in any breast. An amusing young couple graces the stage in this opera: the beautiful Adina and the clumsy Nemorino, who, unlike his beloved, has holes in his pocket so big that the wind whistles through them. Nemorino is unable to woo his beloved, until a mysterious elixir falls as if from thin air (or the charlatan Dulcamaras careful hands) into the young mans lap. At least, this is how it seems. A lovely, exuberant co-production with Theater Erfurt with beautiful 1950-s style costumes and set of an Italian pasta factory.
