Already famous to the public of Milano due to his previous work Anna Bolena, Gaetano Donizetti composed L’elisir d’amore with his typical speed and enthusiasm, raising the curtain of a comical dramatic masterpiece, both innocent and profound. The homourous side of the story rests in the general attitude of Nemorino – an irrecoverable lover who is strongly convinced that the potion (in fact, a simple Bordeaux wine) traded by Dulcamara, a charlatan, will bring him the love of the fancy Adina, the one his heart wants with fervor.

The depth of the opera rests, on the other side, in the sacrifice that Nemorino is willing to make in order to obtain the necessary amount of money for buying a second elixir bottle. He is determined to enroll for good. Is this sacrifice the love proof that prevents Adina from marying her ideal candidate – Sergent Belcore.

Although, apparently, the happy end of this love-story can be associated with the miraculous L’elisir d’amore, the critical factor in bringing these two young people together consists in their own maturing process, which has been successful!

The performance ends around 11.00 p.m.
