The Real Elixir of Love by Donizetti

The Elixir of Love ; an opera by the composer Gaetano Donizetti gives you a transcendent moment that every onlooker wants to experience again. I can write custom written research papers on that feeling. Mexican tenor David Lomeli’s second-act aria “Una furtiva lagrima” is that perfect moment. The overall performance in the opera in terms of the lighting, the orchestra, the staging and the singing was awesome. Since “Una furtiva lagrima” is the signature aria in the show; all the expectations were attached to it and Lomeli really comes up to the expectations as the love struck Nemorino.
Moreover the set designing, the costuming, the performance of the supporting roles was amazingly great. The overall energy of the production is simply superb. It is one of the operas by Donizetti which is commonly performed today because it can be contemporized and performed at any place and any time without altering its effectiveness. In the New York City Opera production, Jonathan Miller’s vision for the show was to transport the drama from a sleepy Italian town to an American diner in a dustbowl during the 1950s. On this set, neon red of the Adina’s Diner sign glows against a backdrop of desert terrain and a robin-egg-blue sky. Visually, a striking and engaging concept overall and well executed. The conceptual theme underscoring Elixir’s entertainment value is showcasing Donizetti's score which is really a winning combination, and New York City Opera's interpretation fired on cylinders for most of the afternoon.
