Opera Film: Donizetti's L'ELISIR D'AMORE

From the Festspielhaus in Baden-Baden comes this spectacular production of Gaetano Donizetti's wonderful L'Elisir d'Amore. Set as a classic Western, this is the second directorial work of Rolando Villazón (following his directorial debut in 2011 with Werther at Opera de Lyon). Villazòn as director and Nemorino -- these tidings alone were enough to unleash a worldwide "run" on tickets to the Baden-Baden 2012 Pentecost-holiday opera!

A charming story of love and magic, Donizetti's L'Elisir D'Amore was written in only six weeks and remains one of his most frequently performed operas. In this production, renowned tenor Rolando Villazón sets Donizetti's classic in the Wild West, where mysterious potions and dubious medicine men offer the solutions to all of life's problems.
