UM School of Music: Maryland Opera Studio - L’elisir D’amore November 24, 2009

A melodramma giocoso in two acts. The comic story of a simple peasant who buys a supposedly magic potion to woo the beautiful and wealthy girl that he loves. Performed in Italian with English supertitles. Fully staged, with minimal production and only piano accompaniment, this opera focus attention squarely on the singers and the characters they create. Minimal scenery, clothes, and props put the emphasis on the young singers in their first complete roles in the Opera Studio.
