L’elisir d’amore (2013)
Gaetano Donizetti's refreshing and hilarious opera L'elisir d'amore sweeps us away with an irresistible wave of mischief, romance, and humor. This sparkling production from the Teatro Real, directed by Marc Piollet and Damiano Michieletto, transports the action to a colorful and boisterous Mediterranean beach, with Camilla Tilling and Ismael Jordi in the leading roles.
The plot follows the misadventures of the young and humble Nemorino, willing to do anything to win the heart of Adina, a passionate landowner. Nemorino buys a supposed magic potion from a trickster to make Adina fall in love with him, unleashing a series of entanglements that culminate in one of the most famous love arias in history: "Una furtiva lagrima."
