L'Elisir Encore February 2, 2013

The Metropolitan Opera will open its 2012-13 season with a new production of Donizetti’s delightful comic gem L’Elisir d’Amore, starring Russian diva Anna Netrebko—in her second consecutive Met opening night—as the irresistible heroine Adina. Matthew Polenzani sings the role of the lovelorn peasant Nemorino, Mariusz Kwiecien sings Sergeant Belcore, his romantic rival, and Ambrogio Maestri is the potion-peddling Doctor Dulcamara in Bartlett Sher’s new staging of the classic love story, which will be conducted by Maurizio Benini. The principal singers and conductor will return to reprise the opera this January and February, with Netrebko’s offstage partner Erwin Schrott replacing Maestri in the role of Dulcamara.
