A few sips and you’re an irresistible Casanova! Nemorino’s down and out – dead-end job, hardly noticed by the ladies, and hopelessly in love with Adina, who’s indifferent to his yearnings. But she’s not indifferent to the yearnings of Sergeant Belcore. (There’s something about a man in uniform.) Poor Nemorino hardly stands a chance until huckster Dr. Dulcamara whips up an “Elixir of Love” (really, it’s bad Bordeaux) that makes Nemorino the go-to guy for some serious loving. Make it your pre-Valentine’s date night – a comic opera with lovable characters, wonderful arias, beautiful sets and dazzling costumes.
