Event
The Elixir of Love - West Chester, PA
Nemorino is hopelessly in love with the beautiful Adina. She wishes he were more mature and pretends to respond to the advances of the dashing but pompous Sergeant Belcore. The huckster Dulcamara, a quack doctor, arrives and sells Nemorino a "love potion," actually cheap wine, that he claims will make Adina love him within a day. When Adina announces she will marry Belcore in six days, Nemorino is confident the elixir will work in time. But Belcore's regiment is called up and the wedding moved forward to that afternoon. Desperate for money to buy more elixir, Nemorino enlists and takes the enlistment bonus, unaware that his rich uncle has died, leaving him a fortune. The village girls are then all attracted to Nemorino, with him thinking it the result of the potion rather than the inheritance. Adina has been touched by Nemorino's devotion; she buys back his enlistment, rejects Belcore and the couple are united. Dulcamara's elixir has worked!
