Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore

Donizetti's Romantic comedy, L'elisir d'amore, from the New York Met, starring Golda Schultz and Javier Camarena.

Romantic comedy from the New York Met, starring Golda Schultz and Javier Camarena. Donizetti's tune-packed classic is a love story between a rich landowner and a poor peasant - but this is Cinderella in reverse: it's the woman who's rich and the man who's poor. Nemorino has fallen for his boss, the beautiful Adina, and he's in despair when she agrees to marry the boastful but hunky man in uniform, Sergeant Belcore. His only hope for a happy ending is quack Dr Dulcamara's fake love potion.

Adina ..... Golda Schultz (soprano)
Nemorino ..... Javier Camarena (tenor)
Sergeant Belcore ..... Davide Luciano (baritone)
Dr Dulcamara ..... Ambrogio Maestri (baritone)
Giannetta, Adina's friend ..... Brittany Renee (soprano)
