“A charismatic con-artist peddles a questionable love elixir. Will it help our not-so-clever mechanic win his gal’s heart? The Santa Fe Opera presents The Elixir of Love, a tale where laughter flows as freely as Chianti, along with a furtive tear. Prepare to be delighted as the lovers find their footing and the elixir does its job.”
The Elixir of Love is going on tour in New Mexico! In celebration of the opera’s 67th Festival Season and the season of love, the Santa Fe Opera invites opera fans and newcomers to enjoy free screenings of The Elixir of Love across New Mexico during February and March. Prepare to be delighted as lovers find their footing and the elixir does its job.
Bringing the family? Our February screenings include a pre-performance discussion suitable for children by Oliver Prezant.
