Can a magic potion really win someone's heart? Hoping to capture the affection of the clever and independent Adina, the lovestruck Nemorino places his faith in a mysterious "elixir of love" sold by a charismatic traveling salesman. Filled with mistaken assumptions, irresistible humor, and some of opera's most beloved melodies, Gaetano Donizetti's romantic comedy reminds us that love often appears where we least expect it. Performed in Italian, this intimate production features the Scottish Opera chamber reduction, bringing audiences closer than ever to the heart of the story.
