Opera L’ELISIR D’AMORE
Gaetano Donizetti
L’ELISIR D’AMORE • Jul-25 2021 | Teatro San Carlo, Napoli
A music trip to Naples can be a wonderful combination. The city offers excellent culinary attractions and a cityscape that is best explored on foot with a private guide. You are constantly reminded of the volcano that spilled over Pompeii almost 2,000 years ago. Today this is a worthwhile destination. And then Amalfi invites to a long day trip or a connecting stay. Also Capri, Ischia and the Aeolian Islands. You could easily spend months there.
But the highlight of your musical journey is the visit to the Teatro San Carlo to a performance of your choice.

L’Elisir d’amore, Donizetti’s famous comic opera, premiered in Milan in 1832. At the time he was enjoying a very productive time directing Teatro San Carlo from 1822 to 1838. The libretto, by Felice Romani is adapted from a recent opéra-comique written by Auber and Scribe and Donizetti contributed heavily to the creation of its characters. What was created in the end was a new format for romantic comic opera, in which authentic emotions prevail over the stereotypes of classical farce. The young lovers overcome all obstacles thanks to the sincerity and perseverance of their feelings and each character is defined by his own melodic signature. For example Dulcamara “the charlatan” is introduced by one of the most extraordinary comic arias of the history of opera, he will have to admit that a woman’s charm is more powerful than his elixir. Adina, with her singing, can conquer Nemorino’s hearth and, in turn, Nemorino manages to describe the authenticity of his feelings in the most passionate way with the famous piece una furtiva lacrima.
