L’elisir d’amore is Donizetti’s first great comic opera, a tongue-in-cheek reinterpretation of the Tristan and Isolde myth. Nemorino buys a ‘love potion’ from quack doctor Dulcamara, in the hope of winning the love of Adina. When she chooses to marry Belcore, a sergeant passing through town, Nemorino enlists in order to pay for another bottle of the doctor’s elixir. Luckily, just before it is too late, Adina realises that she loves Nemorino after all and she falls into his arms, as the quack doctor does a roaring trade in potions…

L’elisir d’amore is a great sentimental-pastoral comedy, featuring some of the composer’s finest music. With particularly fine arias for soprano and tenor, Nemorino’s second act aria, ‘Una furtiva lagrima’, stands out as one of the most affecting bel canto arias ever written. This new production will be sung in Italian with English surtitles.



Cast and full production details will be announced in the RNCM Autumn Events Guide in August.
