So, why would a company dedicated to the operettas of Mssrs. Nemorino’s genuinely loving heart wins all in the end. She chooses true love, in the form of Nemorino, over the handsome, flashy, and fickle Belcore. Yet when faced with the prospect of settling down with Belcore, a man who equals her in amorous wiles, she realizes she will lose the veneration of her most ardent devotee. She begins the opera as a paragon – she has beauty, brains and property and more flirtatious wiles than a battalion of ladies. Adina learns some important life lessons herself. Nemorino is a lowborn young man who snares Adina, the village’s most eligible (not to mention wealthy) landowner, with the help of a little magic in the shape of beaujolais wine disguised as “an elixir of love.” We follow Nemorino’s journey from a shy and awkward nonentity to a man of means and the most eligible bachelor in town. It successfully combines comedy and sentimentality in a male Cinderella story.
The sources of its enduring popularity are the scintillating melodies and piquant characters.
It has remained a part of the standard operatic repertoire since that time. Gaetano Donizetti’s The Elixir of Love ( L’Elisir d’Amore) premiered and is believed to have been composed in two weeks.
