L'elisir d'amore

Description

Amidst the everyday dreariness of a small village, Nemorino tries to win the wealthy landowner Adina for himself. He places his hope in a supposed "love potion" that he acquires from the dubious Dr. Dulcamara. This potion is said to take effect after 24 hours. With Gaetano Donizetti's "melodramma giocoso" composed during the early industrialization, director Julia Lwowski makes her debut at the Zurich Opera House. The stage design is by artist Mika Rottenberg, whose playful fantasy worlds question the absurdity of modern production.
