L’ELISIR D’AMORE TOURING PRODUCTION

“The Elixir of Love”

The comic opera The Elixir of Love, composed by bel canto genius Gaetano Donizetti, follows the beautiful Adina and her charming yet clumsy admirer, Nemorino, through their tumultuous and often capricious courtship. With the (often misguided) guiding hand of ‘Doctor’ Dulcamara’s ‘elixir’, Nemorino accesses super-human courage to win his muse’s heart.

The cast features Puerto Rican Tenor Juan Hernández as Nemorino, Brittany Smith as Adina, Conroy Scott as Doctor Dulcamara, Van Wyk Venter as Belcore and Linda Nteleza as Giannetta. The production is directed by Magdalene Minnaar, with set design by Maritha Visagie and costume design by Rabia Davids. The piano reduction of the orchestral score will be played by pianist José Dias.

This production is proudly sponsored by the Judith Neilson Head Trust.
