Anna Netrebko and Matthew Polenzani star in one of the
T
S
greatest comic gems in opera, as the fickle Adina and her
besotted Nemorino. Bartlett Sher, whose previous productions
SU
of Il Barbiere di Siviglia, Le Comte Ory, and Les Contes d’Hoffmann
PP
have delighted Met audiences, guides this lively staging, where
O
surface charm will meet with real emotion. Mariusz Kwiecien
R
T
is the blustery sergeant Belcore; Ambrogio Maestri and Erwin
Schrott share the role of Dulcamara, the loveable quack and
dispenser of the elixir. Maurizio Benini conducts.

“What I love about Elisir is that you have the best of the glorious
A

Italian comic tradition, but with characters of great depth. It is
O
filled with enormous inventiveness and beauty, while the sense of
proportion is exactly right. It’s a masterpiece.” DIRECTOR BARTLET T SHER
