THE ELIXIR OF LOVE

  • McCaw Hall 321 Mercer Street Seattle, WA, 98109 United States (map)

Music by Gaetano Donizetti; Libretto by Felice Romani

Love, laughs, and liquor. Utterly enjoyable from first sip to last, this fizzy concoction is opera’s most winning comedy. A lovestruck bumpkin is about to lose the company of a rich and independent landowner. Crossing paths with a quack doctor, he soon gets duped in more ways than one. Wine, a windfall, and a fateful “furtive tear” eventually reveal happy truths as sincerity triumphs amid much rejoicing.

Don't miss this new-to-Seattle production set in the 1940s! Plus, enjoy the debuts of four-internationally renowned singers performing Donizetti's bubbly bel canto including the famous tenor aria "Una furtiva lagrima."
