Overview
L'elisir d'amore (The Elixir of Love)
Stage director Nicola Bowie transports Donizetti’s L’elisir d’amore to 1940s New Haven complete with Swing Era choreography. Sweet and silly, this romantic comedy features standout arias, including “Una furtiva lagrima,” in an unforgettable score. Will Adina go for the dashing yet pompous Sgt. Belcore, or will the sincere Nemorino win her love with the “help” of conman Dr. Dulcamara and his famous “elixir”? The Yale Opera cast, led by music director Gerald Martin Moore, brings this popular comedy to life.
