Ball State Opera Theatre is proud to present L’elisir d’amore (the elixir of love), by Gaetano Donizetti, this April 5 & 7, 2013 in Emens Auditorium.
Set in the old west, Nemorino, the town's smithy and wainwright, is hopelessly in love with the rich bank owner, Adina, who doesn't even know he exists. When a traveling snake oil salesman comes to town and sells Nemorino a magic love potion, the results are hilarious and touching. L'elisir d'amore is filled with the melodies of the bel canto era and climaxes with one of the most well-known and beloved of all tenor arias: Una furtiva lagrima; an aria made famous by the greatest tenors of the century: Caruso, Gigli and Pavarotti.
