    Fresh from the 2009 Glyndebourne Festival!  Houston Grand Opera presents Donizetti's The Elixir of Love.  This sparkling folktale is one of Donizetti’s most popular operas.

    Lovesick Nemorino falls madly in love with the young landowner Adina knowing well that she is out of his league. Luckily, the scheming Dr. Dulcamara has just the cure to what ails him. Russian soprano Ekaterina Siurina sings the minx Adina and John Osborn is Nemorino. Internationally renowned Italian bass-baritone Alessandro Corbelli plays Dr. Dulcamara, and Liam Bonner is the flamboyant Sergeant Belcore.

    Directed by Annabel Arden, this delightful production takes place in a rustic Italian town square.

    "An idyllic backdrop to Donizetti's music ... beautifully rendered." - BBC

    Sung in Italian with English supertitles.
