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.
