Donizetti's 'L'elisir d'amore' with Iuliano, Torre, Patti, Antoniozzi and Calcaterra from Genoa

Donizetti's 'L'elisir d'amore' is a comic opera in two acts. Felice Romani wrote the Italian libretto, after Eugène Scribe's libretto for Daniel Auber's Le philtre. Nemorino, a poor peasant, is in love with Adina, a beautiful landowner, who torments him with her indifference. When Nemorino hears Adina reading to her workers the story of Tristan and Isolde, he is convinced that a magic potion will help him to gain Adina's love. The self-important Sergeant Belcore appears with his regiment and immediately sets about courting Adina in front of everyone. Performers:

Adina: Benedetta Torre.
Nemorino: Roberto Iuliano.
Belcore: Michele Patti.
Dulcamara: Alfonso Antoniozzi.
Giannetta: Marta Calcaterra.

Teatro Carlo Felice Choir and Orchestra. Conductor: Daniel Smith.
