L’elisir d’amore

With music that sparkles and a playful libretto, this reimagined production of a Donizetti favorite is charming. Nemorino is mad for Adina, who (of course) doesn’t know he exists. He’ll do anything: confess, dissemble, enlist—to get Adina to fall in love with him. If only there were a magic love potion ... Say, what’s in that bottle?
