L'elisir d'amore [The Love Potion]

Description

«If only love would give me some courage!» The shy Nemorino has fallen in love with the attractive, seemingly unattainable Adina, who is also courted by the dashing officer Belcore. Fortunately, the quack doctor Dulcamara offers love potions that are supposed to work like in «Tristan and Isolde». And indeed: Nemorino gains new courage and even risks his life to win Adina's heart. An unexpected inheritance does the rest, and even Dulcamara is amazed at the energy and transformation his deception unleashes...
