SYNOPSIS
This hilarious opera will have you under its spell! A shy young man, with nothing to
his name, falls in love with a rich and beautiful woman. Will a con artist’s “magic elixir” be enough to win her affections? Or will true love need to work its magic? Donizetti’s delightful comedy is filled with music that’s sure to enchant. The opera will be directed by legendary Hollywood director and producer Garry Marshall, director of Pretty Woman and Beaches and producer of Happy Days, The Odd Couple and many others. He can be recently seen in the movie hit Keeping Up with the Steins.

Elixir of Love is comic opera at its sparkling best. It’s flirtatious, it’s boisterous and it’s all heart. So join us for us for a night of love in this quirky and charming production. Reserve your seat today!
