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.

After a film production in 2020, this colorful comedy returns to McCaw Hall in a new-to-Seattle production that has everything: winking humor, relatable human characters, and a charming love story—all set to ravishing bel canto music that makes the soul sing.

Georgian soprano Salome Jicia, praised for her “razor-sharp coloratura” by Musical America, makes her Seattle Opera debut as Adina alongside Samoan tenor Amitai Pati, whose “light, lyrical” voice (San Francisco Classical Voice) debuts as Nemorino. Italian bass-baritone Luca Pisaroni will fill the role of Dulcamara, bringing his “robust tone and informed style” (The New York Times) to Seattle Opera for the first time.

The Elixir of Love by Donizetti, From (2022/2022), Directed by Stephen Lawless,, Conductor Giampaolo Bisanti, McCaw Hall, Seattle, United States
