A perfect introduction to the magic of opera for children and families, The Elixir of Love for Families is a condensed two-hour version of Donizetti’s delightful comedy in a charming production set in Napa Valley circa 1915. Sung in English with English dialogue, this special family opera retains all the sparkle and sweetness of Donizetti’s score. The tale of shy Nemorino winning the heart of the beautiful Adina—with the help of a “love potion”—is a heartwarming celebration of innocence and love in a simpler time.

This production is recommended for children ages 6 and older. Special family pricing for adults and children.
