A Potion for the Heart: Donizetti’s The Elixir of Love

Published Friday, February 6, 2026

If you’re in the mood for romance, comedy, and music that’ll be stuck in your head for days, this one’s for you.

Toledo Opera is bringing the feel-good favorite The Elixir of Love to the Valentine Theatre on February 13 and 16, and it’s packed with charm, heart, and plenty of laughs.

This classic comedy by Gaetano Donizetti follows a lovable underdog who’s convinced the only way to win true love is with the help of a not-so-mystical “love potion.” Spoiler alert: things don’t go exactly as planned, and that’s where the fun really starts.

Conducted by J. Ernest Green, this production blends gorgeous music with playful storytelling, making it a perfect pick whether you’re an opera regular or just opera-curious.

Grab a date, grab a friend, or just grab a seat – this is one night at the theater guaranteed to leave you smiling.
