The Elixir of Love

February 13 at 7:30 pm & 15 at 2:00 pm

Passion. Comedy. Drama.

Spend Valentine’s Day weekend immersed in the laughter and romance of Donizetti’s The Elixir of Love. When the shy and smitten Nemorino’s dream of winning the strong-willed Adina’s heart seems out of reach, he turns to a traveling purveyor of patent medicines in search of a love potion. After drinking every last drop, he sets off a cascade of comedic chaos. This heartwarming comedy embodies all the richness of Donizetti’s artistry and is simply too good to keep bottled up. Featuring laugh-out-loud moments and touching romance, this original, heartwarming comedy sparkles with wit and whimsy. Presented for the first time in over a decade, The Elixir of Love comes to life in a new production brought to life by conductor J. Ernest Green (Toledo Opera’s South Pacific, Ragtime, and The Merry Widow).

Starring David Walton (La Cenerentola) as Nemorino, Marnie Breckinridge (Company Debut) as Adina, and Jason Budd (Tosca, Cinderella, and The Merry Widow) as Dr. Dulcamara.

Sung in Italian with English Captions

Production Details

Not seen in Toledo for over 15 years, The Elixir of Love is full of infectious, lively tunes. It is an opera buffa, or comic opera (think “buffoon”), and as such is a lot of fun and entertaining.
