Donizetti’s heartwarming comedy features some wonderful bel canto singing as the spunky landowner and the hapless peasant search for love. Radiant soprano Claudia Boyle sings the role of Adina, trading barbs and embraces with tenor Duke Kim as Nemorino. John Molloy as the outlandish rogue ‘doctor’ Dulcamara. Baritone Gianluca Margheri is Belcore and soprano Deirdre Higgins is Adina’s friend Giannetta. L’elisir d’amore is conducted by Erina Yashima and directed by Cal McCrystal.
