“A merry melodrama” - this is how the genre of the opera The Elixir of Love was defined by its author. You will see an incredibly naive, merry melodrama and an unexpected production that will send the viewer ... to retro television of the 80s. The action of the performance will take the viewer to a television studio in Italy, where everyone can plunge into the world of entertainment TV programs.
The production team interpret this comic opera by Gaetano Donizetti in a pastoral and entertaining vein, where the audience will not see any tragic twists, but the happy resolution of love torments will become no less desirable, although it will be predetermined throughout the performance.
The audience in Milan liked this musical comedy so much that it was staged 32 times in one season. Notwithstanding the hurry, the opera turned out wonderfully: the amusing storyline and light melodies created a work that has long been beloved of audiences. This is a story about how a young, poor and shy fellow falls in love with a rich, pretty and inaccessible beauty.
It is a performance where everything is in place and there is nothing superfluous, written with a pure heart, and even today it is included in the repertoires of theaters around the world, because the theme of love is always eternal.
