An encore screening of the Met Opera’s production of Gaetano Donizetti’s comic opera L’elisir d’amore takes place today at 7pm at St James Cavalier Cinema.
L’Elisir d’amore has been among the most consistently popular operatic comedies for almost two centuries. The story deftly combines comic archetypes with a degree of genuine character development rare in works of this type. Its ending is as much a foregone conclusion as it would be in a romantic comedy film today – the joy is in the journey, and Donizetti created one of his most instantly appealing scores for this ride.
The Met Opera’s production of L’elisir d’amore will be screened today at 7pm at St James Cavalier Cinema. It will be screened again on March 18 at 2.30pm. For tickets, visit www.kreattivita.org.
