Opera: Donizetti’s L’Elisir d’Amore

Description

Description

Gaetano Donizetti’s L’Elisir d’Amore (The Elixir of Love) represents the finest achievement of Italian comic opera during the first half of the nineteenth century, the acknowledged Golden Age of bel canto style of vocal performance and composition. It is in every sense a work of genius of the first order.

Its music is a continuous flow mellifluous melodies beauty. Its action fast-moving, full of delightful twists and turns and surprises. Its structure is compact: with its plot compressed into a single day’s event. Its characters are lively, human, and deeply moving. Above all, it wonderful fusion of hilarious humor and tender romance.

L’Elisir d’Amore offers an unforgettable experience of artistic refinement and uninhibited enjoyment so rare in the entire genre of western opera.
