“L’elisir d’amore,” (“The Elixir of Love”) a comic opera by Gaetano Donizetti, revolves around the charming yet bumbling Nemorino, a humble peasant hopelessly in love with the beautiful Adina. Misled by a traveling quack, Dr. Dulcamara, into believing a fake elixir of love will win Adina’s heart, Nemorino purchases the potion in the hope of securing her affections. The opera’s musical highlights include the delightful aria “Una furtiva lagrima,” With lively ensembles and expressive duets, “L’elisir d’amore” blends humour and heartfelt emotion, with loveable characters and hilarious comedic situations.

Our all-new production, directed by returning TCO director Jessica Derventzis, will bring audiences to an autumn day in a rustic Italian countryside village, with soldiers and travelling salesmen making for a wild day the townsfolk won’t soon forget! Conducted by Jennifer Tung, with accompaniment by Ivan Estey Jovanovic.
