Royal Opera House: L'elisir d'amore

Laurent Pelly's acclaimed production of Donizetti's romantic comedy opera, part of the Royal Opera House 2014/2015 season of productions, filmed live in London and screened in cinemas worldwide.

"Nemorino, a naive village boy, is besotted with Adina, a farm owner. She rejects his declarations of love. Fortunately, Doctor Dulcamara is on hand with a 'love potion' to help him win her heart.

"L'elisir d'amore is one of the most frequently performed of all Donizetti's operas. It combines a touching love story and hilarious comedy with beautiful music, including the much-loved aria 'Una furtiva lagrima'. The opera’s premiere in Milan in 1832 was a triumph and secured Donizetti's place as one of the leading Italian opera composers of his day." (Royal Opera House)
