The Elixir of Love

Love, laughs, and liquor. Utterly enjoyable from first sip to last, this fizzy concoction is opera’s most winning comedy. A lovestruck bumpkin is about to lose the company of a rich and independent landowner. Crossing paths with a quack doctor, he soon gets duped in more ways than one. Wine, a windfall, and a fateful “furtive tear” eventually reveal happy truths as sincerity triumphs amid much rejoicing.
Georgian soprano Salome Jicia, praised for her “razor-sharp coloratura” by Musical America, makes her Seattle Opera debut as Adina alongside Samoan tenor Amitai Pati, whose “light, lyrical” voice (San Francisco Classical Voice) debuts as Nemorino. Italian bass-baritone Luca Pisaroni will fill the role of Dulcamara, bringing his “robust tone and informed style” (The New York Times) to Seattle Opera for the first time.
