Gaetano Donizetti
Donizetti’s comic gem about a wealthy beauty and a besotted peasant who wins her love with the help of a “magic” elixir.
Pretty Yende (see above in Il Barbiere di Siviglia) debuts a new role at the Met as the feisty Adina in Barlett Sher’s production of Donizetti’s comedy. Matthew Polenzani reprises his acclaimed role as Nemorino, the besotted peasant who wins Adina’s love—with the help of the magic “elixir” sold by the quack Dulcamara (Ildebrando D’Arcangelo). Sher’s adaptation is charming, with both deft comedic timing and emotional reveals. Conductor Domingo Hindoyan makes his company debut.
