Un Elixir d'amour - Théâtre des Champs-Élysées (2025) - Un Elixir d'amour - Théâtre des Champs-Élysées (2025)

Description

Revival of the production by Manuel Renga, already performed in 2021.

"Considered one of the most successful opera buffa in the bel canto repertoire, The Elixir of Love has also long been Donizetti's most popular work. A true sentimental comedy that happily combines the effectiveness of a comic libretto and beautiful musical writing. The story is simple: Nemorino is a young villager in love with Adina, a rich and beautiful heiress. To seduce her, he buys an elixir of love that turns out to be simple wine... But after many adventures, the two lovebirds end up getting married. The artisans of this version intended for young audiences have chosen to set the action in a factory where a syrup is produced that all children hate. In a universe between Chaplin's Modern Times and Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, who will have the courage to modify the recipe to make a delicious nectar?"
