L'elisir d'amore: Latvian National Opera

About the Event

Who hasn't dreamt of a magical elixir to solve all the problems of love! Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore (The Elixir of Love) based on a libretto by Felice Romani will be performed at the Latvian National Opera this season.

Since the time of Tristan and Isolde, a love potion has been the dream of many shy youths, including Nemorino who is tormented by the indifference of the beautiful Adina. Suddenly, the enigmatic Dulcamara appears, seemingly from out of nowhere, with a mysterious potion. Of course, Nemorino has no idea that his elixir is just cheap, strong wine, yet he feels its effects immediately! Dulcamara's love potion unveils the protagonists' true faces and uncovers their hidden feelings.
